+ 
+ 	*  Restore the old behaviour again:
+ 	cdll/windll have LoadLibrary method, and no other public attributes.
+ 	CDLL/WinDLL accept library pathname in the constructor, that's the
+ 	only public attribute: all the find(), load(), and load_library()
+ 	methods are gone.
+ 
+ 	The ctypes._loader module has been removed completely.
+ 
+ 	ctypes.util has been revived, it implements a find_library()
+ 	function which should be useful to find libraries from the linker
+ 	name (on platforms where this makes sense):
+ 	
+ 	find_library("c") -> "/usr/lib/libc.so.6" (Linux)
+ 	find_library("c") -> "/usr/lib/libc.dylib" (OS X)
+ 	find_library("msvcr71") -> "c:\windows\system32\msvcr71.dll" (Windows)
+ 
+ 	If the library is not found, None is returned.
