For shared library support on Linux I think

http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=4080 . BTW compiling
Tango as a dynamic library on Mac OS X has been possible the last
couple of months.
One thing about OS X is that all object files are sharable, so if your
code even works on the Mac it will be possible to put it in a shared
library. Things are much more complex on Linux.
I was not saying it's going to be easy to make shared libraries work on
Linux. I've tried to make shared libraries working on Linux starting
with the same approach I used when making them work on Mac OS X. Issue
4583 is how far I got, then I couldn't get further. I'm just pointing
out that fixing issue 4583 is where one could start to make shared
libraries work on Linux.
