Hi Antony,

This is very much needed!

I've tinkered with possible plugin designs and this reminds me to look 
back at it.

Have you ever looked at ELFIO?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/elfio/

It has no dependency library(not even libdl) to read/write elf files.

My only stumbling block was I didn't get through a 64 bit test case yet 
and stepped away because the developers of ELFIO weren't responding.  
But I really am impressed with the elfio design and functionality

I wanted to apply it to plugins as well as a new way for xml binding for 
c++ (but there are only so many hours in a day:-)
