I currently use a very slim wrapper around around dlopen() and the
similar Win32 facility. Ofcourse, this requires big-hammer
reinterpret casts, but my needs are very simple. Basically, my
"plugs" export (extern "C") some kind of entry/registration
function that my main app calls on load.

The code is here:

And could be a basis for a boost endevour. More
C++/demangling/complex stuff could build on the basic symbol
loading class...
