Auto detection of SUNDIALS DLL:s in Linux/BSD
Status: Beta
Brought to you by:

In the documentation (README and http://pysundials.sourceforge.net\) is says that the DLL.s usually are detected automatically on Linux/BSD systems. Is this really true?
I've downloaded and compiled SUNDIALS suite from their original website and compiled/installed using default parameters. Still PySUNDIALS complains about not finding the 'config' file.
I have not found any evidence in the code that this automatic check is being done.
Proposed solution(s):
* Remove this information in the documentation.
or
* Implement the feature. Shouldn't be too hard as 'cdll.LoadLibrary(...)' throws an OSError when it can't load a certain DLL.
I could swear I had this working... I'll look in to it again.
This should now work in the latest release of both the 2.3.0 and 2.5.0 branches. I'll leave it open becasue I've only tested it on my system, and this is the sort of thing that breaks on other systems. If anyone has any problems, let me know. I'll need to know your achitecture, python version, sundials version, pysundials version and of course, your OS details.
