The idea is if library is not found in the array it will THEN you dlopen
so that modules can still be plugged in at run time provided that the
system is capable of it.

Could you elaborate. When shared libraries are used simply linking with
-lpspell should work as all the dependences will automatically be tracked
down provided that the system supports interlibrary dependencies.
If static libraries are used ALL required libraries must be specified on
the command line. That is what my script will be for.
What else must be done?
