After some hours of fighting with auto*beep*tools i didn't get actually
working results... so forget the libltdl thing for now; i'll come up with
a new diff when it eventually works.

Just for completeness i've attached the full rundir diff again, which
works after autoheader/autoconf/automake combo (why does this reminds me
of tekken and similar fighting games?).
