+;;; Dan Barlow's quick summary from IRC 2003-06-21:
+;;; fwiw, load-foreign does random stuff with ld so that you can use
+;;; it with static libraries
+;;; if you have shared objects, load-1-foreign will do fine
+;;; and
+;;; I think my position on this matter is consistent with Tim Moore's:
+;;; use (cmucl equivalent of) load-1-foreign, load-foreign is arse
+;;; though he may say ass
