[Python-Dev] AIX shared library support

Is there any particular reason that dynload_aix.c doesn't use AIX's dlopen?
From what I can tell, libtool seems to use dlopen on AIX 3.xxx and AIX
4.xxx.

I was all set to integrate the \N{...} support into the Unicode-escape
encoding, and dynamically load the hash table data in on demand, but
dynload_aix only cares about module entry points and won't let you specify
an explicit function name.

Ugh, how annoying...
