IIRC, *nix in general is fine because the way that executables and shared
objects interact under *nix is different than how executables and DLLs
interact under Win32; basically under *nix there is enough information for all
shared objects to be able to link back to the executable automagically,
whereas under Win32 this information has to be dealt with manually.
