There is info on NaCl here: While it might be an interesting feature to provide for future Elisp packages, its immediate usefulness is much less obvious, so the kind of compile-time linking model we use for things like libgnutls would not be appropriate (e.g. Debian wouldn't want to add nacl as a dependency if it's not actually used). OTOH that might be a good motivation to add support for dynamic loading of extension libraries. Stefan
