Jeff,

+0.95

Read the new PR yesterday and agree it makes sense to bypass libltdl where
it would add little or nothing to a "dlopen-lovin' platform".

Forgive me for asking a question I am sure I could answer by reading the
.m4:
How are you planning to distinguish which platforms support dlopen()?

And the question you should have seen coming:
May I have a tarball please?

If I get a tarball, I will "smoke test" Solaris-10, Solaris-11 and the BSDs
before tomorrow's planned merge.  I also have access to Mac OS X back to
the oldest OMPI supports (10.6 if I recall, but I have back as far as 10.4).

-Paul
