Is it possible to do ld magic to dynamically load/unload libparted?
If, say RH use libparted in their installer, can they get rid of it
after they've finished with partitioning?

Also, an exception might be thrown during initialization... there would
be no way to set the exception handler before initialization.  So,
the vanilla default handler (writes to stdout) would have to do.

The only exceptions that should be thrown are bugs, or possibly errors
loading modules, so that should be no problem...
