b9e6391582 This change facilitates name translation for shared libraries. The
technique used is far from perfect and alternatives are welcome.
Basically if the translation flag is set, the string is not too
long, and there appears to be no path information in the string,
then it is converted to whatever the standard should be for the
DSO_METHOD in question, eg;
    blah --> libblah.so   on *nix, and
    blah --> blah.dll     on win32.

This change also introduces the DSO_ctrl() function that is used
by the name translation stuff.

8f4fac7f96 This is a set of startup code for the DSO support, it's not yet linked into
the build process (an upcoming commit no doubt), and is very much *new*
code - what that means is that it compiles ok - usually. It certainly
doesn't mean it runs well or even properly yet. Please don't muck round
with this unless you're looking to help out and hunt bugs. :-)

Currently this code doesn't have any support for controlling the "load"
behaviour (eg. paths, filename translations, etc). That'll be handled
using DSO_ctrl() and various flags, once we work out a sensible set of
flags.
