Hi,

Suppose I have a plugin library that contains calls that reside in the
executable that dlopen()'s that plugin. You can link such a plugin by
using a .def file that contains something like:

IMPORTS
symbol = executable.exe.symbol

Now if I need to be able to use the *same* plugin from *two*
executables, how do I resolve that??? Can I use a .def file that
contains:

IMPORTS
symbol = executable_1.exe.symbol
symbol = executable_2.exe.symbol

My gut feeling says 'no', but hope against hope...

Maarten
