branch 2.0:
missing arches: If possible, we need more `make check' reports.
Am working on two.
Somebody needs to fix MinGW.
I would like to see one arch which has no dynamic linking but still
passes the relevant libltdl preopen tests. Anyone?

Will this increase or lessen total code?

Sure.

I could care less. Improve current docs first (they are not bad, but a
little outdated in places). Second be determined to keep docs current
(like: don't accept a patch for a new feature without accompanying docs).
Third convince someone (else) to translate.

Big ACK. As Bob stated, they might prove nasty.

Sure. Bob suggested extending ltmain.c some time ago. :)
6. Versioned libraries. Although this is not very portable yet, it is a
concept which IMHO needs support. Many people ask for it.
7. Change libltdl interface: add separate functions for function
pointers. This will allow porting to systems where function pointers
are incompatible with data pointer C-wise.
8. Support cross-compilation correctly.
9. Support multilibbing.
10. More testcases. Faster test suite. Please submit test cases for
stuff that does not work.

Ralf
