HI,

I've been investigating this library a few months ago. Unfortunately it
supports only ELF file format, while I needed support for PE file format
too. I've ended up with writing a less functional but portable class:
http://apolukhin.github.io/Boost.DLL/boost/dll/library_info.html

ELFIO library is good. But I'd love to see this library extended to support
PE and MACH-O formats before Boost review. Without that library scope seems
limited.

P.S.: sorry for previous mail, keyboard seems to be very attractive to baby.
