Well, on pretty much every other platform nowadays, there's little 
(no?) difference on-disk between a module and a regular shared 
library...  elf doesn't care.  If you're dlopening it, it'll get found 
regardless.  In darwin that's not the case... dlopen is emulated in the 
first place, but the dynamic loader really acts nothing like dl on most 
other platforms.

It may be that no one ran into this before because their platform 
wasn't as strange as darwin.  =)
