libdl.a is standard, so requiring it is not such an issue
what we can do is update the corelinux configure.in to enable -ldl for the 
examples
and update the AC_CHECK_CORELINUX for users who want  to useconf+corelinux
and document for all other users

so what you say is that it is time to putthings into libframeworks?
if so why not!
in fact it is quite good to think that core(linux)  really means it (that it 
is a core library): that is to say that it doesn't extra libs

-ldl is not such a requirement but keeping corelinux as a standalone lib(a 
part the c++ lib of course) is very good since dl features are needed only 
for a one corelinux feature

My preference would be to not add -ldl as a requirement and so begin to 
populate corelinux++ frameworks
