/** \class DynamicLoader
 * \brief Portable loading of dynamic libraries or dll's.
 *
 * DynamicLoader provides a portable interface to loading dynamic
 * libraries or dll's into a process.
 *
 * Directory currently works with Windows, Apple, HP-UX and Unix (POSIX)
 * operating systems
 *
 * \warning dlopen on *nix system works the following way:
 * If filename contains a slash ("/"), then it is interpreted as a (relative
 * or absolute) pathname.  Otherwise, the dynamic linker searches for the
 * library as follows : see ld.so(8) for further details):
 * Whereas this distinction does not exist on Win32. Therefore ideally you
 * should be doing full path to guarantee to have a consistent way of dealing
 * with dynamic loading of shared library.
 *
 * \warning the Cygwin implementation do not use the Win32 HMODULE. Put extra
 * condition so that we can include the correct declaration (POSIX)
