Liz, Its been 20 years since I looked into this question and I think your answer it good unto a point. The point that I will disagree with you is it depends on how that module is invoked. If it is a statically linked then the answer is no. If its dynamically linked then a tool is available that front ends link etc.. I vaguely remember that we had issues with the tool but for the most part it worked. I am assuming that after this much time they have fixed their problems. The only thing I can add is be careful if you track to much you will be inundated with SMF data.
