FWIW, libtool comes with libltdl, which is its own portable dlopening
interface, that works even on platforms that don't support dlopening
at all.  Even when the library you want to dlopen is a static library!
As long as the dlopening program was linked with libtool, using the
appropriate -dlopen flags, of course :-)
