I am a little foggy on how this all works, so excuse my concerns if they 
  fall into the obvious category.

When you say DSO, I assume that the same applies to executable images as 
well.  We have plenty of code (CNI with its corresponding java classes) 
that is statically linked into the executable.  This will continue to 
work.  Right?
