Wish that were true :-(

Unfortunately, dlmodule only knows how to do it on SunOS/Solaris/SGI and
any system that has a compatible implementation.  This should probably
be rectified -- the code in importdl.c knows how to do dynamic loading
on many platforms, and knows very little about Python modules...

But for now, you need a sun compatible <dlfcn.h> for dlmodule.
