dl() has worked on most hosts that I've used, tho it doesn't work for
IIS, I'm told. I would just support best I could then at some point I
would stop jumping through hoops and say "Your server doesn't support
any of the extensions I need, it doesn't allow me to load them for
you, I can't seem to find an alternate language I can use on your
server for this part soooo it's no longer MY problem. Talk to your
host."
