10.3.2 supports the dlopen APIs.  I see three options: 1) make the
NSModule API support work under 10.3.2 (which should be easy); 2) use
dlopen directly; and 3) fix ltdl to use dlopen on Mac OS X 10.3.2.

I'll try to reproduce it tomorrow on my 10.3 box.  But if you could send
me any sort of info about what exactly failed, that would be greap.
