/**

 * \file SDL_loadso.h

 *

 * System dependent library loading routines

 *

 * Some things to keep in mind:                                        

 * - These functions only work on C function names.  Other languages may

 *   have name mangling and intrinsic language support that varies from

 *   compiler to compiler.

 * - Make sure you declare your function pointers with the same calling

 *   convention as the actual library function.  Your code will crash

 *   mysteriously if you do not do this.

 * - Avoid namespace collisions.  If you load a symbol from the library,

 *   it is not defined whether or not it goes into the global symbol

 *   namespace for the application.  If it does and it conflicts with

 *   symbols in your code or other shared libraries, you will not get

 *   the results you expect. :)
