dynamically linked drivers

[Garry Hodgson]

reading the erlang book on ports and drivers last night, 
it appears that i must hand-compile a version of erlang
with my new driver linked in, after editing config.c to
reference it.  is this still accurate?  it doesn't seem
a very useful way to go, in an environment where i'd like
to use erlang to control various other software.  should
i abandon this method, and go with the other external
port methods?
