No, FPC should rely on the operating system for dynamic linking. There 
is no use in duplicating a functionality that is already there. One 
"just" needs to spot all problems that might arise on different 
platforms when using dynamic libraries (e.g. symbol resolution on 
Windows vs. ELF based systems).
