That's fine for autoconf and automake, but not for libtool.  The libtool 
provided
in the msysDTK has a shared library for libltdl: this msysltdl-3.dll relies
on msys, and uses msys-supplied dlopen().  It does not use LoadLibrary directly.

This is probably what you want, IF you're building an MSYS (not native) tool
that uses libltdl.  E.g. an MSYS version of m4-2.0.

The libtool-1.5 mingwPORT provides a libltdl shared library libltdl-3.dll which
uses LoadLibrary() directly, and does not use msys at all.

THIS is what you want if you're building native apps that use ltdl.

I guess if you're sure that you'll never need and msys-ified version of the
libltdl, then moving all three autotools to mingwPORTS is okay.
