The old platform-specific contents of importdl.c, broken down into one
file per platform (really: per style of Dl API; e.g. all platforms
using dlopen() are grouped together in dynload_shlib.c.).

This is part of a set of patches by Greg Stein.

+ * Python Dictionary object to store the images_ids so we can be very
+ * nice and unload them when we exit.
+ *
+ * Note that this is thread-safe.  Probably irrelevent, because of losing
+ * systems... Python probably disables threads while loading modules.
+ * Note the use of "probably"!  Better to be safe than sorry. [chrish]
+ *
+ * As of 1.5.1 this should also work properly when you've configured
+ * Python without thread support; the 1.5 version required it, which wasn't
+ * very friendly.  Note that I haven't tested it without threading... why
+ * would you want to avoid threads on BeOS? [chrish]
+ *
+ * As of 1.5.2, the PyImport_BeImageID() function has been removed; Donn
+ * tells me it's not necessary anymore because of PyCObject_Import().
