Well, at that level it all depends on which -L path is specified.  That is,
the import library in /lib would cause a dependency on msysltdl-3.dll, while
the import library in /mingw/lib (or wherever the "native" libltdl/libtool is
installed) would cause a dependency on libltdl-3.dll.  Of course, making sure
that you call the "right" libtool and that it self-configures such that your
autotool-generated Makefile has the "right" -L path, when there are two 
different
versions on the same machine is, err, prone to error.

So I agree that, because of the potential for end-user fubar, the msys-dependent
ltdl DLL and the msysDTK-provided libtool should go away, to be replaced by
a non-msys-dependent libtool/libltdl DLL (except just MAYBE in your own personal
dev env, Earnie, if you need msysltdl for m4-2.0 or other msys-dependent tools).
