Absolutely. libtool and libltdl are a flaming heap of cow dung that encourage programmers to use black boxes to achieve portable results, at the expense of simplicity and the ability of the individual programmer to fix linking bugs. Autoconf and automake are both tools that are useful to developers on GNU platforms; the only people who benefit from the existence of libltdl (and libtool to a lesser extent) are users of legacy Unix platforms.
