Good question, I would suspect they remain dynamic link libraries with different file extensions but I could be wrong. File extension, is, after all, no guarantee of file type. If depends.exe in the Windows SDK can parse them, they’re dlls. I have never tried and now can’t, no Windows on my pc anymore.
Edit: looking at this: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_so.html#creating it looks like it is just a naming convention – “Apache still loads .dlls…”
