I have to disagree with you there, Dave. It's cryptic and complex to
implement, but I use it in a package to support loadable modules (shared
objects loaded during runtime) for a package that has to be very portable,
and it works like a charm. It even compiles the modules in statically on
platforms with broken dynamic loading (like Windows) without me having to do
more than use its macros in place of dlopen() in my code.
