Wow.. so what you want is even nuttier than I thought..

No, again. using dlopen with libsystemd is crazy, you will only turn 
software even more complex and ugly than already is. and with this 
little gem:

-- a/Makefile.am
+++ b/Makefile.am
@@ -3046,7 +3046,7 @@ libsystemd_la_CFLAGS = \
         $(libsystemd_journal_internal_la_CFLAGS)

  libsystemd_la_LDFLAGS = \
-       $(AM_LDFLAGS) \
+       $(AM_LDFLAGS) -Wl,-z,nodlopen \

we can stop the madness from becoming reality :-)

No, distros are welcome to come here and influence the direction of the 
project and its components, before reality imposes itself. those who do 
the work, make decisions.
