Libtool is just (a complicated) compiler wrapper, to make building and linking against libraries easy to specify... be that on the command line with a direct libtool invocation, or from Makefile.am specifications. I'm considering splitting the current libtool project in two: 1. libltdl as a standalone runtime loader wrapper
If it helps any with decision making, on October 15th I unbundled libltdl from GraphicsMagick, twelve years after I originally bundled it into ImageMagick. I decided to do this because I realized that the value added by the bundling did not exceed the potential harm caused by the bundling. Project configure and build times improved by removing libltdl.
Creading a stand-alone libltdl package is a very good idea.
