[RFC] Netx: some native libraries are not found

Hi,

There is a bug in the current version of Netx that fails to find some 
native libraries [1][2].

In the current implementation of Netx, one classloader is created per 
JNLP file; for JNLP files loaded as extensions, the classloaders share 
information about where to find resources. Unfortunately, they do not 
share any information about where to find native libraries. This makes 
Web Start applications with extensions that use native libraries fail. 
The proposed patch [3] fixes this.

Any comments concerns? Should I go ahead and commit this fix?

Cheers,
Omair
