That's a technical issue with an easy solution. I wouldn't know how to go about it on Windows though, but on Linux this is only a matter of using dlopen() and a couple function pointers. Zach Welch was looking forward to make many parts of OpenOCD dynamically loadable. Maybe the FTDI support would be the best place to start with.
