ndrdump portability requirements

Hi,

At the moment, ndrdump links against all available NDR interfaces.

I'd like to modify ndrdump to instead use dlopen() and dlsym() to get to
the required functions. This has the following advantages:

 * Much easier to port ndrdump to Samba 3 (my main reason for proposing
this)
 * Significantly smaller ndrdump binary
 * Quicker to recompile (less objects to link in)

Since the use case for ndrdump is working on the correct IDL, and all of
the developers have sane systems that support dlopen(), I think that
should be ok.

Any objections?

Cheers,

Jelmer
