  Hum, annoying ! We must know why, this could make PHP5 XML support
unstable for example (I assume PHP5 has thread support !)
And for detecting "at runtime" that means from a binary linking to the
shared lib, it's really unclear unless you have introspection capability
e.g. if the shared library has an __xmlMalloc() entry point or not.
