44	Shared libraries on OS X aren't .so; breaks Python tests	broder@…		"Shared libraries on Mac OS X are built with the .dylib extension. Because zephyr/lib/zephyr_tests.py specifically tries to load libzephyr.so.4.0.0, that fails on OS X, which causes the libzephyr build to fail as well.

For even more fun, OS X's shared libraries puts the version number before the extension instead of after, so it's libzephyr.4.0.0.dylib.

Since libtool creates a simple libzephyr.{so,dylib} symlink in .libs as part of its build process, I think it's sufficient to load that instead, conditionalizing on sys.platform to pick the correct extension."	defect	closed	major	3.0 release	zephyr.build	3.0~beta.2362	fixed			MacOS X
