It seems to me as we have two different problems here.

1) linking /bin and /sbin dynamically, and throwing in /lib, /libexec,
/rescue and other stuff in root.

2) using dlopen() in all programs.

Why are these two discussions being mixed? Are they totally inseparable?

(And no, I don't like PAM yet... :-)
