There are oodles of dangers here.  For example, a package distribution 
maintainer for a particular OS may not agree with the package 
developer's choices so he will install his own libltdl with the extra 
message catalogues.  This could make things very confusing/difficult 
for the package developer.   There is already plenty of confusion 
caused by package distribution maintainers who replace the existing 
libtool in a package with one that they prefer.

On the flip side, the package developer may choose to distribute an 
internationalized libltdl, which causes new issues for end-users and 
package distribution maintainers.
