PS. You may notice that ltdl users are specially marked. There's a
reason for it: libltdl may "dlopen" .la files, so ports using it
should be double checked (by looking into source). If plain old .so's
are loaded, the port does not require any special handling, otherwise
either :keepla should be used, or port patched to load .so's. Example
of such port is ImageMagick which loads its modules as .la's.
