			import "fmt"

			var V int

			func F() { fmt.Printf("Hello, number %d\n", V) }

		may be loaded with the Open function and then the exported package
		symbols V and F can be accessed

			p, err := plugin.Open("plugin_name.so")
			if err != nil {
				panic(err)
			}
			v, err := p.Lookup("V")
			if err != nil {
				panic(err)
			}
			f, err := p.Lookup("F")
			if err != nil {
				panic(err)
			}
			*v.(*int) = 7
			f.(func())() // prints "Hello, number 7"
