He guys!

Its Ok to load dinamically a optional library not GPL to a GPL engine.
Because that its USE. And the GPL its about distribution. 
Theres no use restriction on the GPL. 

You only need to care about to distribute your GPL engine separate from
the closed source safety module. And make these module optional. 

This how some quakeworld GPL engines work (fuhquake, etc..). And will
work with Quake3.
