Note that this is ONLY for -module's (i.e. shouldnotlink=yes), and
executables are almost never linked against installed modules.
Sometimes modules are linked against other modules (e.g. gstreamer-0.8),
but it doesn't matter, as libtool won't provide the deps when linking
one library against another anyways.

Several packages, including kdelibs, use internal copies of libltdl, so
it's not quite so simple.
