 9.4 Unresolved dlopen issues
 ============================
 
 The following problems are not solved by using libtool's dlopen support:
 
    * Dlopen functions are generally only available on shared library
      platforms.  If you want your package to be portable to static
      platforms, you have to use either libltdl ( Using libltdl)
      or develop your own alternatives to dlopening dynamic code.  Most
      reasonable solutions involve writing wrapper functions for the
      `dlopen' family, which do package-specific tricks when dlopening
      is unsupported or not available on a given platform.
 
    * There are major differences in implementations of the `dlopen'
      family of functions.  Some platforms do not even use the same
      function names (notably HP-UX, with its `shl_load' family).
 
    * The application developer must write a custom search function in
      order to discover the correct module filename to supply to
      `dlopen'.
