Added some notes from the benefit of my experience. :)

+/* Some things to keep in mind:                                        
+   - These functions only work on C function names.  Other languages may
+     have name mangling and intrinsic language support that varies from
+     compiler to compiler.
+   - Make sure you declare your function pointers with the same calling
+     convention as the actual library function.  Your code will crash
+     mysteriously if you do not do this.
+   - Avoid namespace collisions.  If you load a symbol from the library,
+     it is not defined whether or not it goes into the global symbol
+     namespace for the application.  If it does and it conflicts with
+     symbols in your code or other shared libraries, you will not get
+     the results you expect. :)
