So you're using "DSO" to mean not just something that's a dynamic
shared object but specifically something that's built to work with
dlopen?  Seems like bad terminology to me, and possibly bad
engineering, but when libtool is involved that's not a surprise.

Back to the point, it seems like we should use "ld -l" for some
things (e.g. libglusterfs) and dlopen for others (e.x. xlators),
but never "cross the streams" or just add a .so to the list of
objects.  Does that sound right?
