I'm not so sure about libltdl.  I haven't spent very much time looking
at it.  One thing to do would be to check the upstream libtool to see
if the support is already there.  If not, I suggest doing your port
there first.

In libgcj, the platform header defines the library prefix and suffix.
For Darwin you'd want to conditionally define this in include/posix.h.

I don't know what you mean.

Nobody is working on it.  If you want to give it a try, that would be
great.  I don't know of a reason not to do it.
