are all unix-based systems using .so extension for dynamic libs?
i guess these modules left without extension on purpose to not
pollute VM code with
dealing with unix dialect-specificness.

all the ones I've heard of do. Wikipedia says " In Unix-like operating systems using ELF, dynamically-loaded shared libraries can be identified by the filename suffix .so (shared object)." Solaris also uses this extension http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E26505_01/html/816-5165/ld.so.1-1.html. There is also this page which says that "In most modern Unix-like systems [...] the filenames always start with lib, and end with .a (archive, static library) or .so (shared object, dynamically linked library)". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Library_%28computing%29#File_naming
