Hi,
Do any other platforms support multiple dynamically load library extensions? I don't think there is another one, but on Windows you can have multiple prefixes, depending on the environment: nothing for MSVC++, cyg* for Cygwin, lib* for mingw32 & cegcc, and pw* for pw32. There are no specific ports to either of them, though, so it hasn't been an issue.
