You might also want to add this link for shared library info:

http://www.akkadia.org/drepper/dsohowto.pdf

(that link, unlike yours, is completely Linux specific.  It's also not an overview - it's 46 pages of details).  As an aside - ABI compatibility is an unholy nightmare in C++ in my opinion!

It'd be nice to write the policy about loadable modules - I've noticed the OSS and GSI interfaces have migrated a bit in trunk.  It would make me a lot happier if there was a more deterministic way to tell if a module is compatible with a given version of Xrootd than to load it and watch for segfaults...
