There's functionality there but no docs to say what's possible:

- does dlsym(RTLD_DEFAULT,name) return the original entry point,
  as (unsupported) RTLD_NEXT would on other systems?
- can they hook core Cygwin, newlib, library package dynamic,
  static entry points?
- can it decide whether to call original, change return code?

Would probably be an R&D exercise, not just a straight port.
