   The core lt_dlinit/lt_dlopen/lt_dlsym/lt_dlclose/lt_dlexit API remains
   unchanged since its original introduction into libtool releases.

   New calls have been added to exploit richer semantics and new
   features over the years... user loader discipline management, library
   search path maintenance etc.

   I am sure that new features will continue to creep in over time, and
   new API entry points will be added, but I would be very surprised if
   binary compatibility were broken.

ok, that's great to hear.  user loader discipline management is most
interesting to me -- do you know of any examples of `lt_dlsetsearchpath'
use i could look at and study?  (i notice libtool-1.4.2 has demo/,
depdemo/, cdemo/ and mdemo/ but these don't use `lt_dlsetsearchpath',
and a google search turns up libtool docs only.)
