As a reminder, the issue is that it's not because the libxslt.so we compile against has xlstInit() that the one we load at runtime will have it too. And vice versa.
Wait a moment. I don't know about Wine's dl* functions, but can't we use dlsym with the RTLD_DEFAULT handle to look in the libxslt msxml3.dll.so is linked with anyway? That would do away with the need to know the soname during compilation. As it is hardcoded into the executable during link, hard-coding the soname doesn't hurt that much too, but still it gets simpler
I tried that but apparently libxslt does not get loaded with RTLD_GLOBAL. So RTLD_DEFAULT did not work :-( But if I missed something and there really is a way it would be great.
wine_dl*() is a thin wrapper around the dl*() functions. If you ignore the last two parameters (used for error reporting), then they behave exactly like the standard functions.
