Under the hood Xcode will call dlopen, dlsym etc or uses the CFBundle  
apis. It is similar when using Visual C, i.e., dll-specific loading  
code is used. This means on windows to call LoadLibrary and  
GetProcAddress and on the mac after loading the bundle you will need  
to call CFBundleGetFunctionPointerForName.
