When looking at UFFI 1.4.6 the function "load-foreign-libraries"
translates into a simple

(load filename)

for ACL. So, obviously, no supporting libs handling!

SBCL seems to be the only implementation supporting this feature. And
UFFI does not translate that into a manual loading set of operations.

This could be a request for Kevin Rosenberg...

CU!
