Cool!

Shouldn't there be a note saying that the actual shared library name
will follow the system's naming convention, be it `libfoobar-c-code.so',
`libfoobar-c-code.sl', `foobar-c-code.dll', etc.?  Perhaps with a link
to `(libtool.info.gz)Libltdl interface' mentioning `lt_dlopenext ()'?

Thanks,
Ludovic.
