I just want to develop wrapper around LoadLibrary, FreeLibrary, GetProcAddress 
for Windows and dlopen, dlclose, dlsym for Unix OSs.

I think it is very easy to do and no additional functionality shall be added 
(maybe in another library). I tryed to design KISS (Keep It Stupid Simply) and 
platform-independed wrapper.
