On Windows it's trivial, on Linux you can use dlmopen, on OSX you're 
hosed AFAIK. Do you need to be able to load libraries? If not, a custom 
VM might be your best option. (Altho, a VM written in pure assembly 
could be used to detect which version of the C API a library is trying 
to use, based on the arguments given... but I wouldn't want to 
write/maintain such a VM :P)
