dyn.load is used in base R to load compiled code from R packages. As far as I 
understand, system libraries are linked at compile time and generally do not 
have to be loaded explicitly.

The documentation of dyn.load says that it accepts a path to a dynamic shared 
object. Do we need more than that?
