Summary: synfig configure doesn't prefer the system libltdl

Initial Comment:
synfig's configure process does not use the system
libltdl when available, instead linking the embedded
version in statically, without using -fPIC. This causes
problems on non-i386 platforms, which need PIC to work.

The best solution to this is to prefer the system
libltdl. If that can't be done, synfig needs to be sure
to compile libltdl with PIC.

<pabs3> pxegeek: (for when you return): until I figure out how to fix this
properly, in configure.ac, changing AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE to
AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE and reautotooling should allow you to build
<pabs3> hmm, doesn't seem to be a way to use the convenience libltdl, but
use the system-wide one in preference to it
<pabs3> http://osdir.com/ml/gnu.gnash.devel2/2006-11/msg00422.html
<pabs3> I think that I have to agree with that post, and that we should
just use AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE
<pabs3> KiBi / dooglus / sladegen / Bombe / omry: thoughts?
* pabs3 commits for now
<pabs3> hmm
<CIA-35> synfig: pabs * r1169 /synfig-core/trunk/configure.ac: 
<CIA-35> synfig: Use AC_LIBLTDL_CONVENIENCE instead of
AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE because Win32
<CIA-35> synfig: doesn't seem to be able to link a libsynfig DLL to a
libltdl DLL and there
<CIA-35> synfig: doesn't seem to be a way to compile libltdl statically
and libsynfig
<CIA-35> synfig: dynamically.

Fixed in svn version 124 by using AC_LIBLTDL_INSTALLABLE.
