 * What a beautiful hack this is! This actually takes a void pointer
 * as returned by e.g. dlsym() on POSIX platforms and converts it to
 * a function pointer. This is perfectly legal in C, but forbidden in
 * C++, so we just solve this particular problem in C.
 *
 * It actually avoids an ever uglier hack involving a memcpy between
 * different pointer representations.
