+	    Relocate bodies of DTrace probes to the statically-linked
+	    VM.</p>
+          <p>
+	    Due to various operating systems (in both the DTrace and
+	    SystemTap worlds) not fully supporting DTrace probes (or
+	    SystemTap-compatibility mode probes) in shared libraries,
+	    we relocate those probes to the statically-linked virtual
+	    machine. This could be seen as pollution of the pristine
+	    VM by a (yet) experimental feature. However:</p>
+          <p>
+	    1. This code can be eliminated completely by the C
+	    preprocessor. 2. Leaving the probes in the dyntrace NIF
+	    shared library simply does not work correctly on too many
+	    platforms. *Many* thanks to Macneil Shonle at Basho for
+	    assisting when my RSI-injured fingers gave out. (note:
+	    Solaris 10 and FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE can take a long time
+	    to compile)</p>
