    // Load an entry point. This is really a convenience function
    // which combines calls to load() and getSymbol(). However, it
    // does add some value.
    //
    // An entry point has the following format:
    //
    // name[,version]:function
    //
    // The name of the library is constructed from the given
    // information. If no version is supplied and the boolean
    // argument is true, the Ice version (10 * major + minor) is 
    // used instead.
    //
    // For example, consider the following entry point:
    //  
    // foo:create 
    //
    // This would result in libfoo.so.11 (Unix) and foo11.dll
    // (Windows), where the Ice version is 1.1.x.
    //
    // Now consider this entry point:
    //
    // foo,12:create
    //
    // The library names in this case are libfoo.so.12 (Unix) and
    // foo12.dll (Windows).
    //
    // On Windows platforms, a 'd' is appended to the version for
    // debug builds.
    //
    // Returns 0 if a failure occurred.
    //
