Yup, without using function pointers and dynamic loading thru Derelict. 
It doesn't currently support Mac, but I guess it will be easy to use it 
there when it get static linking capabilities.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I'm not sure what license the contributing autors would prefer. How 
about giving them an option to choose one of the CC licenses ?
this one: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/2.5/
or this:  http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5/
Each tutorial/article would then hold a licensing information.

That CVS doesn't seem to like me, but if you consider some code good for 
the site, an article would be more than welcome :)
