It's not that hard to be "smart". There is POSIX interface to the dynamic libraries. You open a library with dlopen and check for symbols with dlsym. That works on so called "nice shared libraries", the ones with extensions like ".so" or ".sl". There are also the ugly shared libraries, with extensions like ".dll" that I know nothing about. Those used in the land of Redmond where the shadows lie.
