<snip>
The dl functions are used to load the plugins libraries. Those are compiled as 
shared libs under unix systems, and are DLLs under Windows.
The dl functions are used inside initOnePlugin() to load the library and get 
pointer references to the various plugin functions.
A different code is used for Win32 systems, since the DLL handling uses very 
different functions.
dl functions are not used on HPUX, but a very close mechanism is used so 
porting shouldn't be too difficult.
