Re: ... dynamically loadable classes?

I have a couple of problems with this.

First, why throw exceptions for conditions that might not be
errors?  For example, when a user asks to load a DLL that's
already loaded, why not just do nothing at all?  Note that
this has implications for MAKER_BASE::~MAKER_BASE(), which
can throw an exception.

Second, there's some magic surrounding the DLC_Register_Macro
macro that I'm not seeing.  The macro seems to generate text
that looks curiously like a function prototype, but has an
actual argument instead of a formal argument.  What am I
missing?
