 I think it doesn't make sense to start a 1.4 branch as long as
 the main development is focused on the current HEAD branch.
 Let's wait until HEAD is stable enough to release 1.3d,
 then make a 1.4 branch and merge the multi-language
 branch into the trunk.

 * install all outstandig bugfixes/patches from the list (of course :)

 * fix convenience library support (currently broken, I'll fix it this weekend)

 * finish the ltconfig->libtool.m4 merge (I'll post a new patch soon)

 * fix lt_dlopen error reporting (still broken:
   if a module does exist but can't be loaded (e.g. due to missing
   dependency libraries) lt_dlopen should report the result of dlerror()
   while in case of a not existing file it should report file_not_found_error)

 * enable loading of dependency libs in libltdl for platforms
   that need it (dl_dependency_libs can be renamed to dependency_libs;
   the code is there, we just need to add a check)
