Good idea. Proposed patch. What other things do you know about that
are mishandled?
OK to commit?
The fix and the tests look quite good and useful to me. I don't
currently know of other parsing issues.
As long as the application can trust that libltdl will search for .la
files in secure locations, then there should not be great concern
about corrupted .la files.
