[Yhc] Re: still not building on FreeBSD

Further to this, this is true of all the BSDs. I checked the online
man page interface at

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi

for NetBSD and OpenBSD as well, and looked for "dlopen".

(Hmm. I didn't check DragonflyBSD. Not sure how to do this online. But
since it was initially a close relative of FreeBSD, I would wager that
it won't have a separate libdl either.)

HTH.
