I do it all up front at make time. The system's designed to be 
explicitly modular, so dynamic libraries can pull their own dispatchers in.

No, I haven't, but now you've caught my interest :) Certainly, when I 
get the time, I'm going to see if I can steal a few bits and pieces from 
tcc to dynamically dispatch calls properly.
