* configure.in: Determine the suffix of the shared librarries for
this system. This is done analogous to
ltconfig.sh. G_MODULE_SUFFIX in glibconfig.h is set to either
"sl", "dll", or (most often) "so".
* tests/Makefile.am, tests/module-test.c,
tests/libmoduletestplugin_a.c, tests/libmoduletestplugin_b.c:
Added new testcase for gmodule. This is mostly copied from
gmodule/testgmodule.c, but unlike that is is quiet. (Why BTW are
some tests that verbose, not to say loquacious...)
* gmodule.c: Make g_module_open more tolerant wrt to the module
name. First it tries to open the module as named, if that fails,
it checks, whether it is a libtool archive and parses it, if that
fails it appends the systems shared library suffix
(i.e. ".so") (if not already found) and tries again and if that
fails it tries to append the ".la" libtool suffix (if not already
found) and parses it.
* gmodule.c: Lock recursive mutex during most module functions for
safety.
* gmodule-dl.c: Return an error from _g_module_symbol only, if
dlerror says so. All other functions return an error as well, if
dlerror returns NULL.
* testgmodule.c: Thanks to the above change the #ifdefs have
vanished.
* glib/glib-sections.txt: Added G_MODULE_SUFFIX.
* glib/tmpl/modules.sgml: Updated.
