I must have missed this.
As far I can tell package.loadlib is nigh on identical to 5.0.2
loadlib other than it
will now also unload (and incorporates some minor refinements).

For porting code , the addition of

> local loadlib = package.loadlib

should do this with a minimum of effort.

If just porting the code, nothing. It should just work.
