I actually assumed that this would work for most cases, freeing all
resources when the library unloads...  Without that, I can see that
there is very little to do besides hoping that the library provides
some shutdown function, and attaching that to a custodian.  Perhaps
some interface for that would be helpful?  (Oh look -- this mail is
perfectly right justified, including this comment...)
