It's OK if you know, but I assume it's common for newbies to see it and
waste time, as at least two of us did.

OK, but I thought the common case of it at top level was worth fixing.
I guess you could check it's really a libtool script before editing it.

However, is there a good reason not to provide a dummy ldconfig which
does nothing, or prints a message about not doing anything?
