I couldn't get this to work in the end. This is the latest non-working version. This email documents what doesn't work for the permanent record. The central problem is that VDDK InitEx() appears to dlopen() various of its own plugins. Although I wasn't able to capture exactly what dlopen() command it is running, the plugins cannot be loaded because they rely on the recompiled

I'm a lot happier with this version: no mucking with dlmopen(). It does add a bit more coupling between nbdkit proper and the vddk plugin (namely, nbdkit now exports a new function that the vddk plugin relies on), but patch 2 adds testsuite coverage of the new function so we shouldn't regress. Patch 1 and 2 are new, patch 3 is unchanged from when Rich posted it in v2, and patch 4 is
