Subject: ECL and libltdl
Hello,

I've been struggling with trying to use cffi based libraries with ECL on
iOS which doesn't allow dlopening dynamic libraries (so ECL has to be
compiled with --disable-shared).

GNU libtool includes a small library libltdl which is a kind of platform
independent wrapper for dlopen and also has a fallback mechanism for
platforms that don't allow it:
http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Dlpreopening.html

The attached patch adds optional ltdl support to ECL. I also added a sample
application that shows how to use it.

Regards,
Sylvain
