Isn't there is a potential problem if you want to use the same 
projection in more than one analysis module? I would think it would be 
difficult to for the dynamic linker to have the same code in two 
different .so files, although I haven't tested it. This would be solved 
if the projection is compiled in a separate .so plugin file, although 
the for loading analysis plugins would become a bit more cumbersome.
