What you probably(?) could do is to link all basic packages into the
executable but still export all symbols, so that when the shared object
is loaded it finds all necessary entry points.
IMO a dynamic package (.DLL or .so) should only require (depend on)
other dynamic packages. That's why just the basic packages (RTL...) must
exist as dynamic packages.
However, at the moment I don't see why this is better than shipping all
necessary ppl files. BTW: I realize that ppl might be a bad TLA - since
it probably means "people" for quite a number of ppl ;-)
After some reasoning I assume that TLA (here) is not related to threads ;-)
The same effect could be achieved by a separation of packages into
(Lazarus-type) static libraries, and packages *designed* for dynamic
loading (plug-ins...).
You had to guarantee that no plug-in depends on a static library that is
also used by another module (so the exe or another plugin).
In this (bad) case the static library might be linked into multiple
packages - certainly not a desireable situation.
