It's a short term problem.  I've currently got a -20020705 snapshot of 
libtool-devel up as a test release.  Nicholas has sent me a few patches, 
and we're tracking down one other problem as well.  Once those are 
fixed, I'll release another test release -- with cygltdl-3.dll split out 
into, oh, I dunno, a 'libltdl3' package.

Once that version is made 'current', then guile's problems are solved: 
just change the hint to require 'libltdl3' instead of libtool-devel.

However, in the short term, early adopters of guile are going to get 
slammed with lots of extraneous stuff.

How does it feel to be the first person to publish a cygwin package that 
uses libltdl?
