Comment(by warner):

 To use that RTLD_GLOBAL fix, I suspect we'll need to create a python
 wrapper library: {{{aes.py}}} will do {{{from _aes import *}}} or
 something, and then {{{_aesmodule.so}}} will contain all the C++ glue.
 That will give us the opportunity to mess around with dlopen flags before
 and after the {{{_aes}}} import, without obligating all users of this
 library to be aware of the problem.

 I tried briefly to rearrange aesmodule.cpp to make this work, but I
 failed. I've done this successfully a long time ago, but it was both C
 (instead of C++) and using distutils (instead of setuptools).
