Description Steven Cordwell 2017-02-06 02:09:51 UTC 
Emacs 25 can now load shared libraries. It would be nice to add a use flag to optionally enable this feature.

Reproducible: Always

Looking into use.local.desc I find that "modules" is most often used to build kernel modules. So I guess the USE flag should have a different name.

"dynamic-loading" or "dynamic-modules" come to mind. Any better suggestion?
