Use FFI to dynamically load shared library on Mac OS 10.5

The problem may not be that you aren't loading the library, it may be  
that you're not finding the address of the function within the  
library.  If you execute 'Smalltalk listLoadedModules' after a failed  
invocation attempt, does your shared library show up in the list?
