Ok, i don't know the complete syntax of the 'load external function'
stuff, but how about something like :

... ON LOAD CALL 'init()' on UNLOAD CALL 'fini()' ...

when the functions is loaded, you specify a setup function and when it's
unloaded( im not actually sure if this exists) call the finish function.

sorry, if any of that sounds dumb.
