As far as I can tell, there is no *supported* way of doing
on freebsd what you do with dl_open() and friends lets you
do on other systems.  I say *supported* because the crtl
startof code seems to roll its own versions of these routines,
but there is no man page and no .h file for general use of these.

Has this changed in 2.0.5?  Can someone explain how to use
the existing 2.0 stuff (like, what to use for RTLD_LAZY, etc)?
