+  /* Open MPI: This line is commented out because Open MPI does not
+     use the preopen functionality in libltdl at all -- so we never
+     need to see errors from this module.  Additionally, this module
+     is usually invoked last in the sequence when trying to
+     lt_dlopenadvise() a DSO -- so if there was a real error when
+     opening that DSO (e.g., a symbol not found), setting the
+     FILE_NOT_FOUND error here will mask the real error.
+
+     This error has been reported upstream to the Libtool maintainers;
+     they acknowledge that it is a problem but no one has come up with
+     a good general solution yet.  This Open MPI-specific solution is
+     workable for us, but not workable as a general solution.  Hence,
+     we patch in this "if 0" block in autogen.pl after Libtool
+     installs libltdl in the opal/ tree.
