-		 *
-		 * - the main apache process unloads this extension, vips.so
-		 * - in turn, the C runtime will unload libvips.so, the vips library,
-		 *   since vips.so is the only thing that references it
-		 * - libvips.so in turn uses glib.so, but this is often not unloaded,
-		 *   since other parts of apache can be using it (glib could also
-		 *   possibly be preventing unload itself, I'm not sure)
-		 * - the main apache process then reloads vips.so, which in turn will
-		 *   reload libvips.so as it starts up
-		 * - vips.so tries to init libvips.so
-		 * - libvips.so tries to register its types (such as VipsImage) with
-		 *   glib.so, but finds the types from the previous init still there
-		 * - everything breaks
-		 *
-		 * A simple fix that will always work is just to lock libvips in 
-		 * memory and prevent unload. We intentionally leak refs to the shared
-		 * library. 
-		 *
-		 * We include the binary API version number that this extension needs. 
-		 * We can't just load .so, that's only installed with libvips-dev, 
-		 * which may not be present at runtime.
