Hi,

I have done something that seems to fit with your need.
Here is a link where you will find a tgz file compiling/running under
Linux using dlsym. It is based on an abstract class that your plugin
should inherit of.

Be very careful about the elaboration code when you do some "with" of
other package. One on the "best" policy is to be the more restrictive
that you can with the packages you "with" (pragma Pure and so on...)

Hope it will help...
