Multi-segment shared libraries are not supported on the Palm OS for the same reasons
that A5-based library globals and C++ style vtables are not supported [in shared
libraries]. You [the library developer] can manually implement the segment loading and
unloading yourself, but it's non-trivial. Palm has no plans to address these
limitations at this time.
