4I've checked out HPUX (well, version 11 at least) and shl_t is
5a pointer type so it's safe to use in the way it has been in
6dso_dl.c. On the other hand, HPUX11 support dlfcn too and
7according to their man page, prefer developers to move to that.
8I'll leave Richard's changes there as I guess dso_dl is needed
9for HPUX10.20.

11There is now a callback scheme in place where filename conversion can
12(a) be turned off altogether through the use of the
13 DSO_FLAG_NO_NAME_TRANSLATION flag,
14(b) be handled by default using the default DSO_METHOD's converter
15(c) overriden per-DSO by setting the override callback
16(d) a mix of (b) and (c) - eg. implement an override callback that;
17 (i) checks if we're win32 (if(strstr(dso->meth->name, "win32")....)
18 and if so, convert "blah" into "blah32.dll" (the default is
19 otherwise to make it "blah.dll").
20 (ii) default to the normal behaviour - we're not on win32, eg.
21 finish with (return dso->meth->dso_name_converter(dso,NULL)).
