What do you guys mean by these existing packages being too `heavy'?
Too much code to add to libc?  Is the standard dlopen interface
just overkill for djgpp?

[Charles W Sandmann]
-: I first looked at the two DLL type packages on Simtel.  Both of them
-: have nice features, but are a little heavy for what I am looking for.

[Tim Van Holder]
-: My local version of the now defunct DLX package added support for this,
-: which worked fine for gcc 2.95.x, but needs reworking for gcc3.  I've
-: just started looking into it again, and have gotten tentative approval
-: from NanoSoft, Inc. (who wrote DLX) to fork off my own version of the
-: library for further development.
-: I'll certainly agree that as it stands, it's a bit heavy for libc use
-: though.
