[bug #32383] NSClassFromString returns nil on MinGw if the string class is in a shared library and hasn't yet been used

[matt rice]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #32383 (project gnustep):

-- is this what you are referring to in order to get the class loaded?

what I meant was being loaded was the class having the +load method called,
this at least has well defined semantics of before main or after a dlopen,
see

http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/cocoa/reference/foundation/Classes/NSObject_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/clm/NSObject/load

and i've always assumed that NSClassFromString would work at any time after
the +load method (if it is implemented) had, or would have been called.
