I never compiled kdelibs myself on Windows, but other people did, and so they should also have compiled libltdl.
Some weeks ago we switched from libltdl to QLibrary which comes with Qt4, so right now it's not there anymore.

Yes, we did that.
All the checks needed are in kdelibs/ConfigureChecks.cmake.
You "just" have to find out which ones are needed in libltdl. There is something with libdl, so if you find this one, you are very near.
