If we want to export these then I vote that we either:
- use the usual API export mechanism, or else
- provide a static library for people to link to, instead of trying to
do runtime binding. (I.e. drop it in some known place, and then
provide some functions for extension modules to find it at build time
-- similar to how np.get_include() works.)
