dlopen() can keep symbols separated when loaded from a module. You
can basically do something like:
module = dlopen (module_name);
module_sym = dlsym (module, "module_interface_table");
You can take a look in gnc-book (I think that's where this is) to see
how this is currently done for the backend modules.
