Comment (by hinder):

 The attached patch enables autodetection of the dylib extension on Mac OS.
 OK to apply?

 It seems to me that the autodetection logic is the sort of thing that is
 usually handled by autoconf or pkg-info, and we probably don't want to
 reimplement it.  The current method has several failings.  For example, it
 does not find shared libraries (.so) and it does not find libraries in
 lib64.  Should we use pkg-info instead?

 {{{
 $ pkg-config --libs openssl
 -lssl -lcrypto -lz
 }}}

 and similarly for --cflags.
