That sounds right, thank you.
Just for the record: Emacs's FFI should not be able to open just any
random shared library. Only the ones that come with the needed extra
"I'm compatible with the GPL" branding (as attested by the
presence of the "plugin_is_GPL_compatible" symbol, IIRC).
Hopefully, more and more libraries will come with such branding in
the future.
