[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] unix: use dlopen's lookup mechanism when not specifying a path (#497)

[Tobias Pape]

> My understanding of dlopen() was that if you provide the minimal amount of information (i.e. just the library name, no paths, no .so versions), it would just go head and figure out "the right thing" for you based on the user's system configuration. But the way this looks I'd assume that my guess is quite off here :D

Unless you're unlucky and it finds a library of the name you gave it but it has the wrong architecture, for example, whereas it whould have been found given the right paths. :)
