  40 That'd be a great idea, that way all you build is the core code, then any
  41 &quot;plugins&quot; which would stand betweeen Services and possibly the socket code
  42 to the daemon, or perhaps directly to the daemon itself.
  43
  44 Hell, a lot of the functions themselves could even be modularized, too.
  45 Want something in your Services?  Edit the config file.  And there you go!
  46 Apache is a great example of this kind of stuff with its DSO support,
  47 including stuff like mod_access, and the various mod_auth* modules, like
  48 RADIUS, TACACS, system, etc.
  49
  50 Thing is, the dl_* family of functions may work differently on many
  51 platforms. Plus on some systems, compiling shared libraries is a different
  52 or possibly difficult exercise on some systems, e.g. BSDI which uses an
  53 entirely different compiler (based on what I've read in other packages,
  54 e.g. Listar, which also uses this model for some of its support, which
  55 could also include support for talking directly to an MTA's mail queue
  56 space).
  57
  58 In those situations where compiling shared libraries is a pain or is
  59 outright impossible, compiling static support for a given daemon should
  60 still be considered an option.
  61
  62 My knowledge in actual coding for this is a bit lacking, but just throwing
  63 my thoughts of how I've seen stuff done elsewhere. :)  Andy?
