This is also confusing very confusing; I've definitely sucessfully
interfaced with libpq and libmysqlclient under 2.1g.

Well, I've just unpacked a clean 2.1g tarball, and it does sucessfully
#define LTDL_SHLIB_EXT ".so", so maybe I'm not losing my mind.

...and smalltalk-2.2 doesn't.

The thing that alerted me to the problem is that I couldn't access any
functions in the library I had just loaded :). I've got as far as
putting debug statements into the code, and the sections surrounded by
#IFDEF LTDL_SHLIB_EXT are not being executed - it isn't even trying to
load .so extensions (in fact, it tries to load libpq.so.la). That test
does work for .la libraries, you see.
