/// @brief User-Library Initialization for Statically-Linked Kea
///
/// If Kea is statically-linked, a user-created hooks library will not be
/// able to access symbols in it.  In particular, it will not be able to access
/// singleton objects.
///
/// The hooks framework handles some of this.  For example, although there is
/// a singleton ServerHooks object, hooks framework objects store a reference
/// to it when they are created.  When the user library needs to register a
/// callout (which requires access to the ServerHooks information), it accesses
/// the ServerHooks object through a pointer passed from the Kea image.
///
/// The logging framework is more problematical. Here the code is partly
/// statically linked (the Kea logging library) and partly shared (the
/// log4cplus).  The state of the former is not accessible to the user library,
/// but the state of the latter is.  So within the user library, we need to
/// initialize the Kea logging library but not initialize the log4cplus
/// code.  Some of the initialization is done when the library is loaded, but
/// other parts are done at run-time.
///
/// This function - to be called by the user library code in its load() function
/// when running against a statically linked Kea - initializes the Kea
/// logging library.  In particular, it loads the message dictionary with the
/// text of the Kea messages.
///
/// @note This means that the virtual address space is loaded with two copies
/// of the message dictionary.  Depending on how the user libraries are linked,
/// loading multiple user libraries may involve loading one message dictionary
/// per library.
