It looks like it would be a bit more in line with existing code to
just add it to libltdl/ltdl.h.

Could you look at how the upstream libltdl handles it?  We
occasionally talk about importing a new version, I wonder if that
would fix this for you.

Could you be more explicit about this?  Catching an exception
shouldn't trash this array... if it does, doesn't that mean there is a
bug somewhere else?

The ltdl.c patch looks ok-ish, provided (as you noted) it is cleaned
up to be cygwin specific.  Again, ideally we'd do this via the
upstream libltdl.
