Something like this is possible, if you name the extensions carefully.
I have done something like that. I used require to load the extension.

If you have two extension, ext1.so and ext2.so, both with an exported
function ext-test, then you can load the required extension like this:

(require (string-append "ext" (car (command-line-arguments))))
(ext-test)

I'm not sure whether calling require is the right thing to do. But it
worked for me.

Groetjes,
