But that's really not my intention. Instead, what I mean is: - I don't personally know exactly what is needed (I have some vague idea, but details matter here). - We probably want to have a solution *now* and that basically means using something like the eval-when-compile+make hack. But indeed, it looks like the new maintainers, being OK with adding GSSAPI in the core, will be OK with adding random other libs to the core, so the pressure to improve the dynload module infrastructure will be low.
