There are a bunch of features that are only implemented currently for
the SOM and pa64 solib handlers for HP-UX. Do we want to support these
elsewhere? do we want to get rid of them?
e.g.
Dynamically-linked library events may be caught:
catch load - loads of any library
catch load <libname> - loads of a particular library
catch unload - unloads of any library
catch unload <libname> - unloads of a particular library

This provides a more fine grained way of stopping on particular events
than "set stop-on-solib-events", right?
It seems to me that this functionality might occasionally be useful
elsewhere. However, I wouldn't let that hold you up if you're
attempting to convert over to the generic solib machinery. It seems
to me that such functionality could be implemented in a generic
fashion (by noticing when a shared library is added to or removed from
the global list), and as such, could be added back at any time.

And, IMO, should be. Along with a way to print what libraries have
been loaded or unloaded. I've wanted this quite often.
Completely agree about reimplementing them later instead of now, if
it's more convenient.
