loadlib "wxlua"loadlib already exists (as an addon) and defines a simple protocol for loading and unloading a library. It's a good start. loadlib must be an addon because it cannot be written in ANSI C.
Which is a big problem because dynamic libs work differently on each platform and create a bunch of problems for use when distributing user-level apps. (not everyone can or wants to write a bunch of files to their system directories just to run a user level app).
How about creating a lua distribution that's designed for easily adding (static) add-ons without mucking with lua source - just have a config file that the Makefile looks at for info on what to link and the functions to call to open/close the lib.
