Good to know. The reason for this is that noone has tested it on
FreeBSD, so we were cautious. A few questions that come to mind is
how far back in FreeBSD history did it have dlfcn support? And it
there was a point where support was officially started, is there a
clean way to detect it, so config or Configure do the right thing even
on older FreeBSD installations?
