OK. Useful additional datapoint :)
Maybe the simplest solution then would be to symlink the .dylib to a .so
with the same name as an additional workaround for darwin based systems.

I looked a bit around and also found the extension .jnilib used on
darwin systems for libraries loaded through jni. There is a patch for
libtool to add a -jnimodule option, but I don't believe that has been
integrated.

Chris had a fight around this same issue for our libxmlj:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/classpath/2004-07/msg00207.html

It seems it is all a bit of a maze of extensions and options I am
afraid :(

Cheers,

Mark
