The export versions of the libraries omit code that that's tightly-bound
with named, and allow the use of application-supplied implementations for
things like the memory and task and timer subsystems instead of the
BIND-specific implementations.

No, they aren't compatible.  I really want to fix that someday.

The best way right now is to link either BIND 9 or DHCP statically,
or use a different library path for each one, so the conflicting libdns
and libisc files don't step on each other.
