/* Some things to keep in mind:                                        

   - These functions only work on C function names.  Other languages may

     have name mangling and intrinsic language support that varies from

     compiler to compiler.

   - Make sure you declare your function pointers with the same calling

     convention as the actual library function.  Your code will crash

     mysteriously if you do not do this.

   - Avoid namespace collisions.  If you load a symbol from the library,

     it is not defined whether or not it goes into the global symbol

     namespace for the application.  If it does and it conflicts with

     symbols in your code or other shared libraries, you will not get

     the results you expect. :)
