 Replying to [comment:24 eighthave]:


 > One thought that recently struck me is that loading shared libraries
 works easily in Java space.  The LD_LIBRARY_PATH stuff is automatically
 handled when loading using `System.load()`, or you can load using the full
 path using `System.loadLibrary()`.  But that means running all bits that
 need that shared library via Android/Java methods, e.g. not as daemons.
 IMHO that's the right direction for the future anyway.

 Yes, I agree. After getting this initial version in, I think we should
 start looking at JNI, which will give us the option of loading the shared
 libraries through Java.
