Should System.mapLibraryName(userLibName) on AIX return ".a" suffix ?

[Andrew Leonard]

Hi,
Currently System.mapLibraryName(userLibName)returns ".so" as the library 
suffix on AIX, however the default shared library suffix on AIX is 
actually ".a". Should the System.mapLibraryName(userLibName)default suffix 
be changed to align with the AIX default?
Thanks
Andrew
