If dlopen is used to load a dynamic library then there shouldn't be
any problem. It will be automatically loaded and only when needed.
The subject of this discussion (FreeTDS) apparently only comes in static
library form (unless we want to build and support dynamic libraries of
it).

Hmm, I have FreeTDS installed as a dynamic library and I'm using it via
Ruby on Rails. But I can see on the freetds FAQ page that it doesn't
provide a dynamic library any more. I didn't know about that.
It seems one should have some kind of client library, which I assume can
be a dynamic library.
I think the approach we should support is defining a framework in phobos,
and then implementations in external libs. These external libs don't have
to be dynamic ones.
