Okay, so on cygwin libltdl is using the PATH to search for the libtool 
library.   A-ha!  That's because the primary search path is:

/* Define to the name of the environment variable that determines the
    dynamic library search path. */
#define LTDL_SHLIBPATH_VAR "PATH"

That's so it can find dlls.  fine and dandy -- only it isn't, apparently.

/* Define to the system default library search path. */
#define LTDL_SYSSEARCHPATH "/lib/usr/lib"

But this is the real problem.  This should be "/lib:/usr/lib".  Somehow 

the ':' went missing.  I'll track it down.
