Yes, your arguments are sensible and I will consider your suggestion.
Anyway, I am not totally happy with my present solution, since it does not
work when the user try to override some of the choices.  The problem is more
complex that I thought and I will re-implement the solution.

For now, HEAD should work as before for people that does not have the
libltdl installed (I guess this is the general case).
