  45 Listar and Apache (the latter being the most commonly-used program to use
  46 this) use dynamically-loadable modules to extend their functionality. You
  47 might look at the dl* calls, like in Linux's and Solaris' libdl.so;
  48 FreeBSD has the dl functions built into their libc.
  49
  50 And if you come across a platform which does not support
  51 dynamically-linkable modules or those whose dynamic support is either too
  52 hairy or broken, you'd have to build otherwise-dynamic functions directly
  53 into the services binary statically.
