fail if it is unable to physically load the library. Sadly,
LoadLibrary will search the loaded libraries for a match and
return one of them if the path search load fails. Simulate a
failure in this case for compatibility with the other APIs.
Also, LoadLibrary takes the liberty of adding `.dll' to library
names passed without an extension, we now add a trailing `.' to
prevent this from happening.
decided that LoadLibrary returns `0' for success, yet FreeLibrary
returns `0' for failure! The FreeLibrary call used to interpret
`0' as success for both functions.
* cdemo/main.c: "Welcome _to_ ..."
* mdemo/main.c: ditto
* libltdl/configure.in: support multiple dlopening mechanisms
at once

to warn users against deleting the file,
link shared against static libraries if
deplibs_check_method == pass_all

* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopenext): missing space for terminator when
allocating memory for shlib_ext
that all calls to malloc() are properly cast
(strdup, strchr, strrchr, trim, free_vars): declare as inline
(find_module): allocate filename dynamically; support null dir
(free_vars): free dir and name only if non-null
(lt_dlopen): keep dir as NULL if not given; fix expression that
calculated the size of name; only free and name if non-null
(lt_dlopenext): allocate tmp dynamically
* demo/configure.in: likewise
* depdemo/configure.in: likewise
* libltdl/configure.in: likewise
* mdemo/configure.in: likewise
* libltdl/ltdl.c: in find_module() check whether libdir is defined,
tryall_dlopen(): move deallocation of an already opened handle
to lt_dlopen(), allocate the directory in lt_dlopen() dynamically,
minor cleanups, fixed memory leak (name)
* libtool.m4: renamed all AM_ macros to AC_ and added aliases for
compatibilty, updated AC_SYS_NM_PARSE (no undefined symbols,
don't count the symbols)
* ltconfig.in: added thread_safe_flag_spec (not used yet),
added generic variable for linker options "linkopts" in
all archive_cmds
* ltmain.in: added -thread-safe flag (unused)
added function lt_dlopenext(), removed reference to
LTDL_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS in LTDL_SET_PRELOADED_SYMBOLS
* libltdl/ltdl.c: partially reverted Alexandre's dynamic string
allocation change (it was not necessary and the code was unreadable),
cleanups, removed usr_search_path_size, renamed usr_search_path
to user_search_path, in find_module() also check for moved
modules, merged find_file() and find_library(),
added lt_dlopenext(), in lt_dladdsearchdir() no longer reset
the search path if 'search_dir' == NULL and don't use realloc()
(might not be available on all platforms),
removed __P((void)) in the declaration of lt_dlgetsearchpath()
* libltdl/ltdl.h: added lt_dlopenext()
* ltconfig.in: AIX archive commands were broken,
fixed a MAJOR bug in global_symbol_pipe which caused
"demo-shared.test;demo-make.test" to fail (libtool must not extract
undefined symbols of libraries, i.e. symcode must not contain 'U')
* tests/Makefile.am (clean-local): "make distclean" in cdemo, too
handle, don't reset its name nor add it to the list, and free the
name we have allocated
Reported by Edouard G. Parmelan <Edouard.Parmelan@France.NCR.COM>
extension
* libltdl/ltdl.c (lt_dlopen): if a .la file name is given, that's
all. Otherwise, lt_dlopen now tries to append .la first. If this
fails, it tries the given filename, and, at last, tries to append
the native library extension to the given filename.
* doc/libtool.texi (lt_dlopen): explain new lookup strategy
* mdemo/configure.in (AC_C_CONST): ditto
* libltdl/configure.in (AC_C_CONST, AC_C_INLINE): ditto
* libltdl/ltdl.c (LTDL_FILENAME_MAX): use FILENAME_MAX if defined
(FILENAME_MAX): replace all explicit uses with LTDL_FILENAME_MAX
(presym_free_symlists, trim): don't return void, for portability
(lt_dlgetsearchpath): replace (void) with __P((void))
