Have been for some time.

Given the number of OS/2 EMX specific changes to dynloadshlib.c, wouldn't it be better to create a separate dynloados2.c?

There is already a dynload_os2.c for the VACPP port, which implements a module loader via direct OS/2 API calls.

Because the EMX stuff that I picked up (a 1.5.2 port by Andrew Zobolotny) used an emulation of dlopen() (PC/os2emx/dlfcn.c) I carried that over.

I hadn't considered the changes to dynload_shlib.c that significant. however I'll look into whether I can adapt the EMX port to use the VACPP module loader in dynload_os2.c.
