FWIW, that will work with solib-target too; I didn't use a target
object, but now that you've mentioned it I see that I could have.
I should have thought of that; the needs are very similar.
Of course, if I want to use a target object for this then I need to
change the qfDllInfo packet to a qXfer:libraries:read packet, which
means I can no longer test with my current SymbianOS target - that's
one reason why I've been avoiding cosmetic changes to the protocol.
But that's not a showstopper.
What do you think - would the centralized bookkeeping be helpful,
even though you don't have explicit load and unload reports?
