Hi. Yamaguchi san.

Please tell how you think about function layer plugin. 

Should function layer plugin support dynamic linking mechanisms other than 
dlopen?
Is the size of distribution allowed to be increased by including libltdl?

The size of tarball made from CVS HEAD is 841080 bytes. 
After the attached patch is applied, it increases to 1403206 bytes.
