That's true.  How about the attached?  lt_dlforeachfile() calls back into the 
supplied function for each file (non `.' or `..') found in the supplied colon 
delimited search path.  It has an additional lt_ptr arg, for passing an 
argument to the callback function -- I am using it for the name of the module 
access symbol to test for, but it could equally be used for building a vector 
of acceptable module names.

Cheers,
        Gary.
