Will they be visible to LoadLibrary()-loaded DLLs?

It's a smaller job, though, to do so to only one function and remove it 
from the plugin API function pointer structure, to test whether that 
works.

Once that's done, we can remove functions from the function pointer 
structure one by one (or group by group, or whatever) until we're done.

(But first I'd like to try the Fink version of GLib, which apparently 
supports Mac OS X run-time dynamic linking, just to make sure that Mac 
OS X supports importing symbols from the executable into .dyld's.)
