Note that on Mac OS X 10.4 and earlier, java will not load modules that
do not have a ".jnilib" extension, so you should add somewhere in
configure.ac, something like:

case $host_os in
*-darwin*)
   JNI_EXTRA_LDFLAGS="-shrext .jnilib" ;;
esac
AC_SUBST(JNI_EXTRA_LDFLAGS)

then in your Makefile.am you can have:
mylib_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version $(JNI_EXTRA_LDFLAGS)
