   NetBSD does have shared libraries. NetBSD was derived from 4.4BSD, with some old
   code from Net/2 that has been taken out.
   
   Where did the shared libraries come from? Did the NetBSD people put them in, or
   were they in 4.4BSD? Curious minds want to know......

paul kranenburg wrote them for netbsd some time ago, based
on the sunos 4 dlopen() model (that is seen in svr4 also).
