Just turned to the rxmath package (learned that even the loader function
could be defined to be of new type) and saw no explicit library loading,
hence two little questions:
* does using "RxFuncAdd(...)" cause ooRexx to automatically load the
given DLL at that time or when the added external function gets
executed the first time?
* Does ooRexx load all external routines defined in the
RexxPackageEntry that is used with the OOREXX_GET_PACKAGE(pkgName)
automatically at the time of loading the DLL?
