So is dlopen() now capable ?
This was discussed a while ago and dropped IIRC. Now, I guess it's
pretty mandatory cos there's no other reliable way for ppp to find
things....
We also need to bump __FreeBSD_version before any snaps get released,
otherwise it's gonna create problems for me. Has anyone any
objections ?
Cheers.
