java.library.path fix for MacOS X (7145798)

[James Melvin]

Hi Dan,

Some terse comments...


 >> // "." is appended to the end of java.library.path

I agree with the solution to put "." at the end of the searchpath.


 >> #ifdef __APPLE__

To be consistent, shouldn't the solution apply to all BSD releases?  If
so, the #ifdef would not be needed.


 >>  581  {
 >>  587  }

Any particular reason you've blocked off this code?
