    Do I understand that NCR has a meta-extension for loading
    and unloading server extensions dynamically?

It has a mechanism, yes.  I don't know the implementation details.

    Is it in the form of a
    standard X extension that I could link into, say, an X11/NeWS server?

There is no notion of a "standard X extension", in terms of implementation
binaries or standardized internal interfaces, at least not right now.

    Or does it require server modification, and/or operating system
    support?

I would say most interesting X extensions (3D, video, overlays, double-buffering,
nonrectangular windows, input devices, shared memory) have required some amount
of server modification and/or hardware/OS support.

    Don't count them, correct them, please! (and thanks!)

I seldom have time to be more than annoyed/amused at this list, sorry.
