Most of my job is reverse engineering a major website builder company's code so we can leverage their undocumented features. It's often a difficult job but your project could make it easier. I'm sure there are others out there that will find this useful.

Sounds interesting, what can you achieve?

Interesting! No PE structures though, I suppose.

PE is only used for loading the dll, same works on linux.

I thought Linux uses ELF to load dlls.

ELF and PE are functionally the same, instead of DLL's you load SharedObject as your injeciton method, but you don't need that at all since you can inject libraries in linux since it's a built-in feature.
