First, a friendly smack for using a WinDoze term (DLL).... "Thwack!"
Second, an answer.
Yes, they are supported... Take a look at the man page for "dlopen". I
just had a need to (finally) use dynamically loadable objects in a
program, and they're pretty easy to implement. (The "dlopen" and related
functions apply to most modern UNIX variants.)
