Use `have-lib' when checking for libltdl.
Suggested by primus <rprimus@gmail.com>. * configure.ac: Use `AC_LIB_HAVE_LINKFLAGS' when checking for libltdl. * libguile/Makefile.am (libguile_@GUILE_EFFECTIVE_VERSION@_la_LIBADD): Add $(LTLIBLTDL). * README: Update to make it clear that libgc and libffi don't have a `--with-XXX-prefix' option.
