Just a small correction, for the records: Lua never *calls* 'dlopen' by
itself. In particular, 'luaL_openlibs' does not call 'dlopen'. Lua
only calls 'dlopen' if the script calls 'require' (and 'require' finds
an appropriate file in the C path) or if the script calls
'package.loadlib'. (Of course, that does not elliminate the fact that
Lua has to be linked to the dlopen library with -ldl, therefore
causing the problems you are relating.)
