That's because that's the prefered way.  If you look at the built-in
engines, though, you will see that they have code for non-dynamic
situations.  In that case, the engine needs to define a loading
function (ENGINE_load_foo()) which needs to be called instead of doing
whatever you do to load the engine dynamically.

I haven't done this for a few years, so I'm a bit rusty myself...

Cheers,
Richard
