[IronPython] Anyone know what DLLs is called on Unix?

[Matt Clinton]

Same source for the refined question:

Unix-like systems 

Most Unix-like <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix-like>  systems have a
"search path" specifying file system directories
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_%28file_systems%29>  in which to
look for dynamic libraries. On some systems, the default path is
specified in a configuration file
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_file> ; in others, it is
hard coded into the dynamic loader. Some executable file
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Executable>  formats can specify
additional directories in which to search for libraries for a particular
program. This can usually be overridden with an environment variable
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environment_variable> , although it is
disabled for setuid <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Setuid>  and setgid
programs, so that a user can't force such a program to run arbitrary
code. Developers of libraries are encouraged to place their dynamic
libraries in places in the default search path. On the downside, this
can make installation of new libraries problematic, and these "known"
locations quickly become home to an increasing number of library files,
making management more complex.

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear - I know they're .so files but is that also
the name of the directory where the extensino modules are stored
relative to the Python installation?

and I'm (finally) adding it and wondering what (if anything) we should
do if the platform is Unix.   Unfortunately I don't have a Unix box
handy but I'm just guessing it's not called DLLs there :-).
