there is such a thing as dynamically loaded server implementations. The
serveezopt (http://sourceforge.net/projects/serveez/) package contains an
example implementation. the example serveez.cfg (in data/ of serveez
distribution) shows how to use such a dynamically linked server (q3key).

it should be easy to extract server implementations from the serveez
package and build them as described in the serveezopt package (making it
possible to load them dynamically).

however, i think we're too lazy (so much for the KISS part) to provide
shared libraries for the serveez built-in servers. there is not really a
point, i think. an everything-compiled-in (except for guile) binary
serveez is 300kb (stripped).

is this what you wanted to hear?

Stefan: did i miss something?
