libltdl may be a good thing to look at; I fear dependency on .la files, 
which are known to be evil on Linux and Solaris while necessary on other 
systems.  We'd want to look at it closely before using it.

Also, the drivers would need a .so to link against containing the DIX 
symbols they use; I think that would easiest if the whole server was one 
giant .so file.

I don't know myself if this is the right direction; but I think we would 
benefit from a bit of exploration though.
