We'd appreciate a patch (diff -c format), not random snippets of code.

Unlikely to be the right place for it, if it's needed at all which I
doubt.  (Surely NetWare can manage to provide a *standard* C execution
environment, in which any platform-specific startup and cleanup stuff
is done in the C library?)

I don't believe this either.

Nope.  Make a platform-specific implementation of pg_dlopen and friends,
just like all the other platforms have done.
