C++ API for external DLLs

[ellie-idb]

After some thought, the API will

• Require modmakers to export a "Initialize" or similar name
• Require modmakers to link against the V8/LibUV/etc libraries
• Will provide an object to the DLL to register all of it's requested functions on (a sort of namespace) I will add in a hook for import, and allow it to load these DLLs as well. Since we'll be doing this in a manner that is similar to how modules are already loaded, it shouldn't be too difficult. The only downsides I can see:
• The V8 libraries are massive

Any thoughts? I'm willing to get this in ASAP.

Requires #32, so, should get that in first.

Having a standardized initialization is a good way to go. Most uses the build in DLLMain or the like, but it's better to have some sort of init through the program itself as that ensures everything else is loaded properly.

I'm not sure that you should force the modmakers to link against other libraries unless they really need them. Also, it should be better to add some sort of "wrapper" that will give you basic functionality to talk to other libraries if needed. That is, a class/function/namespace that is in its own repo and included in every library that need to communicate with other libraries.

The last thing is that I believe that adding dynamic DLL support in this library would decrease the need for BLLoader.
