  Identifies and removes DLLs of packages already unloaded.
  When packages are unloaded, they are ideally also unloading any
  DLLs (also known as a dynamic shared object or library) they
  have loaded.  Unfortunately, not all package do this resulting
  in "stray" DLLs still being loaded and occupying <span style="R">R</span>'s limited
  registry.  These functions identifies and removes such DLLs.
