/* A shared object must have the symbol `emacs_initialize' defined.
   It should contain initialization of functions, symbols, etc. and
   their loading into Lisp-land.  The function will be called without
   arguments and is not expected to return any.

   All of this needs lots and LOTS of work.  Some things to work on:

   1) A good foreign interface.  This is probably tough, because it
   implies drawing a new border between "external" and "internal"
   stuff (traditionally, Lisp code was external, while C was
   internal).  Also, we need a modules/ directory with a few nice
   sample modules, a sample Makefile, etc. so people can start
   hacking.

   2) All of this is sooo simple-minded.  As it gets more complex,
   we'll have to look at how others have done similar things
   (e.g. Perl 5 and Zsh 3.1), to avoid botching it up.  */
