Hmm, that way %LOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY will never return NIL, even when
loading the library really fails. We should be detecting if the
foreign library is already loaded, and we should probably keep track
of this in the portable side of things. That's needed for
UNLOAD-FOREIGN-LIBRARY too, it's in the TODO list I think.

You're welcome to tackle that TODO item. :-)
