True, that was an excited blurb of misinformation I gave
there, but
rpath keeps you from having to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH which would
require
you to add a script to first set, then call the application,
and while
it is not much of a burden, it makes things a little bit
easier to
use. And is there a way to use libdl in a "D-ish" way? I
remember the
Old c++ way being a bit sloppy but not at all bad, simply
requiring
you to create a function that returned a class (if my memory
decides
to work).And the DDl project is dead for now, and shows little
hope of
revival. If someone could point me in the direction of a
similar
library I would very much appreciate it! And yes, the plugin
system
would be nearly impossible (if not outright)
Does this http://jkm.github.com/ddl/ddl.html work for you? I
welcome any
kind of feedback.

O_o YES! Will definitely check this out!
