I just wanted to post a confirmation that a French citizen travelling overland was issued a transit visa within 10 days via the Libyan Consulate in Tunis. They submitted a request for the visa letter in Arabic to the consulate with two passport photos, and basically followed the same recipe that LandyGirl posted in the HUBB a while back. This transit visa did not require a guide but did require the recipient of the visa to process the formalities at the border himself.
I myself, left Tunis after about a weeks wait as I thought it highly unlikely that they would issue an American a transit visa, despite my efforts.
Hope this helps.
And for those trying to do this again. You can find the Libyan consulate next to the shopping center Colisee Solaire. Bus number 51 drops you off next to the shopping center.
Hope this helps.
