	Thanks, Alexandre.

	In the mean time I figured out why my test library wouldn't load.
	I didn't change the definition of LIBRARYSUFFIX in
	libraries/clib/native/Runtime.c. Now also the test is working.

	BTW, this means when I create a native library I have to know
	that you are using libtool, and this may not be true if I got
	a preinstalled kaffe binary and I don't have access to the sources
	(or I'm too lazy to read the documentation :)

	What would be the drawback of trying to load the native library
	if loading the .la fails ?

	Another alternative could be to distribute a script that builds
	the native library from the C file(s) (so I don't have to figure
	out all the right compiler/linker flags to build the library).
