For rtld, it looks pretty much the same as UNIX's dlopen()/dlsym() etc.
on first sight... (just skimmed through the code).
I think that reading the manpages would help people who "don't get it" (do
man dlopen on your favorite unix box!).

Can't we get to see another complete snapshot of Fluke ? I'm quite
curious :)

Don't. Macintoshes aren't easy to use. That's an urban legend.
I'm typing this email on a mac now, and I hate it to pieces (let alone
that they keep crashing and a REALLY slow (cooperative multitasking in the
'90s ? duh) even the UI feels kludgey).
If you want an easy to use system, just get a good solid UNIX box (SGI
or something).
Just my $0.02
