/*
  These routines implement the SILC Module (SIM) support. SIM's are
  dynamically run-time loaded shared objects that can implement some
  routines SILC can use to extend its features. Currently all
  SILC Crypto modules are implemented as SIM's. They all implement
  the SILC Crypto API and can be loaded run-time into the SILC and
  used when needed. 

  Basically any SILC API can be implemented as SIM, however, currently
  only SILC Crypto modules (ciphers and hash functions (PKCS are not
  supported)) are supported.

  This implementation expects that no SILC specific symbols needs to
  be exported into the SIM's. This means that SIM's cannot directly
  use SILC specific symbols or definitions. This feature can be
  supported with SIM's but currently (with Crypto modules) this is
  not needed. 

  NOTE: These routines maybe highly system dependant thus I can expect 
  some heavy #ifdef's here. However, I'm more happy to see some macro 
  SIM API and restrict the #ifdef's to silcsim.h file.

   SILC Module (SIM) Context.

   This context holds relevant information about the SIM loaded into

   void *handle

       Pointer to the SIM. This is used to get the symbols out of
       the SIM. This is initalized by system specific routine.

   SilcSimType type

       Type of the SIM.

   char *libname;

       Filename and path to the SIM library file.

   int flags

       Flags used with the SIM. These are system specific flags.
       See below for more information.
