I guess I should better probe for libdl and

If you use libtool for linking, and the libltdl.la file is installed,
then dependencies are taken care of automatically. If you're not using
libtool for linking, then you're making a mistake. The point of using
libtool and libltdl is to avoid having to check for other
system-specific dependencies. Checking for libdl is (a) redundant since
libtool's configure script would have already looked for it and (b)
insufficient since other platforms may use some other name for their
dynamic linking support library.
