Well since they are platform specific we can just change them for linux or
define _S_IFDIR under linux.

Hmmm... Well I think that if a developer is using SOMELib they wouldn't load
their whole /usr/lib directory.  The directory loading is for use when
loading from say a plugin directory that only has lib.so.  Remeber that
SOMELib takes care of versioning (Perhaps we should change versioning to
three int's for comparison sake - ie major, minor and patch).  I plan to
offer wildcard matching and text file loading (the textfile would specify
what libs to load) in the future so that a developer could fine tune their
lib loading.  Remember, C++ gives you the ability to format your HD, go into
infinite loops, etc.  It doesn't meen a developer will use these "features".
But they are there if a developer is crazy enough to want them.

I can see it now :-)

Dear somelib-devel,  I point SOMELib to /usr/lib so that is may find my
libraries but when I run my program it just seems to suck up all my resources
and then crashes for no reason.

PS This also happens when I execute this piece of code:
for( int i=0; i>=0;i++)
       new myObject();

I just don't understand.
