No one said that it was done. We've only just added support for
creating
shared libraries to link in with the most recent release, so
there's a good
chance that more work will have to be done there. Much as it
may be related,
loading a shared library at runtime is a whole other ball game,
and there
definitely is a lot of work to be done there (particularly with
regards to the
GC). We're starting to get proper shared library support, but
we definitely
aren't done yet. We didn't even put anything about shared
library support in
the 2.063 changelog because of how new it was.

I got to slide 12 of http://dconf.org/talks/nowak.pdf Martin
Nowak's DConf2013 talk, and it seemed to indicate that
Runtime.loadLibary() support was "currently" available; perhaps
that meant only on Windows.
Is there an open ticket I can follow the know how the Linux
progress is coming?
Thanks.
