Hi!

Well, I worked last night on this, and finally found what I was doing
wrong with the ELF shared libs (you may want to put this information
somewhere on your Web pages).  Essentially, with C++ shared libraries,
one has to link it with "gcc -shared ...", and not "ld --shared ..."
The reason for this is that the gcc will invoke ld with additional
object files that end up ensuring that global constructors and
destructors get called.  So the command line looks something like:

gcc -shared -Wl,--soname=libwx.so.1.6.2 -o libwx.so.1.6.2 *.o
