That seems to me the preferred solution.
But this will still fail on OSX, I guess.
Not necessarily. The API pointer just has to be passed between the source code modules in a global variable whose name is highly unlikely to be used somewhere else.
That sounds very good. I don't mind providing a symbol name for the pointer myself.
Good to hear. Is there anyone who would oppose this?
