Two choices. Either:

1) provide a .c API that wraps the cxx function, which is itself a .cxx
file. You only need to use a few of the functions in loader.hxx. That C API
interface can probably be kept in the loader package rather than redboot. 

2) in load.c call a function (supplied in a .cxx file within redboot) to do
all the real work.
