Hi all,

Is dlopen() & friends supported under cygwin? If so, is the DLL that 
gets loaded using dlopen() a regular Win32 DLL, or a 'special' type of 
cygwin DLL?

Reason I ask it that (while trying to get 'plugins' to work under 
cygwin) I had a look at the gmodule source code of glib, and it seems 
that gmodule uses regular Win32 LoadLibrary() calls to load the DLL, 
instead of calling dlopen(). I was wondering if that it actually correct.

Kind regards,

Maarten
