There is a Glib::Module wrapper of the g_module_* functions in gtkmm2:
http://www.gtkmm.org/gtkmm2/reference/html/classGlib_1_1Module.html
but I doubt that anybody has used it yet.

It's a simpler wrapper, so you can use the g_module_* C functions
directly if the wrapper doesn't wrap everything.

However, if you need something to find C++ symbols at runtime rather
than C symbols then life will probably be more difficult due to C++ name
mangling. If that's what you need then I suggest that you look at
libglademm 0.x (The GNOME 1.4 version in sourceforge). The original
author seemed to have some solution for this. I haven't put that stuff
into libglademm2 yet because I have not had time to understand it.

What is PILS?
