30 BUGS:
31 - OpenBSD 4.8/amd64: SDL failed due to pthread.
32 R version on OpenBSD does not provide a shared R library, thus
33 the symbols are not resolvable.
34 Additional Test for resolving self:
35 While .dynsym(as.extptr(NULL), "R_ShowMessage") works on Mac OS X, it fails on OpenBSD.
36 - demo(ttf) failed on Mac OS X 10.6
