Some other ideas on this, ...

One is to scan the file before calling dlopen.  I think I can do 
it with two lines of code.

Another idea is for the main lib to have a symbol named to 
identify the version, and the plugin references it.  If there is 
a mismatch, there will be an unresolved symbol on loading, which 
is a fault condition that dlopen can handle.

I am leaning toward the first, because it is so simple.
