Of course, there's Dave Love's http://www.loveshack.ukfsn.org/emacs/dynamic-loading/ I think Dave's work is a good starting point. It needs a GPL-check (i.e. it needs to check the dyn-loaded code to see if it has a special symbol stating that it's gpl-compatible), and it needs to be updated for current Emacs code, but it should only touch code that hasn't fundamentally changed very much (famous last word).
