Library suffix on Mac OS X

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Actually, library suffixes are:
- .dylib
- .bundle
- .so
But the library class (Core/Library.h) only allows to specify one suffix
(in this case: .bundle), so for example the freetype library cannot be loaded.

Hi Niels,

Is acceptable solution to first try .bundle extension and then .so extension? I 
read
something about this and it seems that only .bundle and .so are loadable 
libraries.

I will try to solve this problem now so you can test it.

Hi Petr,

.dylib files can normally be loaded with dlopen(). And on my system, dylib is 
the
standard extension for dynamic libraries, also freetype has this extension.

Ok, I implemented new architecture that allows to set more library extensions at
startup and in case that used wants to open library with system extension it now
tries to traverse list of extensions.

I'm not closing it, because I don't know if this will work. Please try trunk 
and post
here results.

Thanks

OK, it works fine now. All libraries can be loaded on Mac.
