I'm working on the gmodule thing as we speak. Tim(?) Janik from the gtk team has agreed to review a patch from me to rip the guts out of gmodule and wrap it around libltdl -- hopefully in time for gtk+-2.0. I have it mostly working. The difficult part is proving to be making libltdl multi-thread safe so that gmodule is as thin a layer as possible. I'll let you know when I'm done (probably a week or so from now).
