After listing the symbols of this library, I find ...

nm /home/cxsfs/bluice/devel/epics-extensions/lib/linux-x86/libcf322683-513e-4570-a44b-7cdd7cae0de5.so | grep create

000083ec T create_cfcf6c8a_dbeb_11d2_8a97_00104b8742dfPtr

(another great name!)

cfcf6c8a_dbeb_11d2_8a97_00104b8742df /EPICS_EXTENSIONS/lib/linux-x86/libcf322683-513e-4570-a44b-7cdd7cae0de5.so Graphics GIF Image

and it works.

Questions still remain...
