DLL-loading for a non-byte-coded language is very OS-specific. It should 
be possible in Gwydion Dylan, which can import and export methods to and 
from C. If it supports make(<method>) and add-method, pointers to 
methods in MacOS X bundles, PC DLLs or UNIX shared libraries could be 
added to the dispatch table using some internals.
Gwydion doesn't support make(<class>) yet, though.
IIRC, Fun-O requires that loaded methods fit an existing protocol.

Rather than contriving a servlet system, both Fun-Dev and GD can be used 
to write modules for Apache or another web server. There's CGI code on 
the Gwydion FTP site.
