** Improve 'load-foreign-library' handling of DLLs
The non-libltdl load-foreign-library introduced in 3.0.6 does not handle
some common cases with libtool-generated DLLs. It has been updated
to search for DLLs that have a version number appended to the name
by libtool, such as libfoo-1.dll.
Also, it has been updated to do library renaming for MSYS. On Cygwin,
when the #:rename-on-cygwin? option is #t, it already had the capability
to search for "libfoo" as "cygfoo.dll". It has been updated to add the
capability to search for "libfoo" as "msys-foo.dll" on MSYS.
The load-foreign-library option #:rename-on-cygwin? has been changed to
#:host-type-rename?, and handles both Cygwin and MSYS.
