How about getting rid of those global variables by storing them 
explicitely in some context/handle ?

Something like:

VortexContext* context = vortex_init();
assert( context );

VortexConnection* connection = vortex_connection_new(context, [...]);
vortex_connection_close(connection);

vortex_exit(context);

That way, the context can be shared across modules/dll without any 
issue. VortexContext can still be an opaque pointer. This solution is 
also interesting because it allows us to have multiple vortex contexts 
in the same process. Currently, vortex_init/vortex_exit is a bit broken 
about that.

Bye,
AMIAUX Benoit
