[Libreoffice] Platform-specific DLL suffix usefulness

[Michael Meeks]

Hi Francois,

	If we are talking about the 'li' suffix in libswli.so - then I don't
see much good reason for that really.

	Presumably extensions use only the standard, stable UNO APIs - and none
of them use fooli.so etc.

	Or did I miss the point ? :-) but anyhow, we have a wiki page for
things we know may be painful for extension authors - so we can do them
all at once for 4.0:

	http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/LibreOffice4

	Perhaps add it there if you can't get immediate satisfaction :-)

	ATB,
