Is there libtldl on Mac OS X? Could we use this in place of the current
scheme for opening plugin libraries?

There is a large number of message printing functions in Csound that I have
undertaken to simplify. Does John Fitch or anyone else have suggestions
here?

Nice work!  You identified a bug I just patched.  The bug was not
present for those using the original makefiles.  The problem was that
SYS5 was not being defined when it should have been.  Now,
csound/autoheader.h sets it when string.h is available.

Google on "Darwin libtldl" includes the following URL that claims to
provide what you require:

Actually, GNU Libtool version 1.5 claims to have support for MacOS X,
so I would look at the ltdl source files in this release.
