I looked into this when I was creating the libraries for co-Xist.  The word  
from NeXT was that they do NOT want anyone creating shared libraries as they do  
not like the way it works now.  They have it for their own use only.  Maybe in  
release 3.0 they will come out with a new format.  Anyone at NeXT who could  
confirm this?  Anyway you presumably would use the loader -fvmlib option, which  
is documented.  That, however is not enough and NeXT would not tell me more.
