    Fixing find_library() on POSIX-like (excluding Darwin) systems.

    This isn't addressing Python's wrapper for dlopen(3).

    This possibily addresses mostly NetBSD as other popular OSes have ldconfig.

    Testing commands:

     - before applying the patch

    >>> from ctypes.util import find_library
    >>> find_library("m")
    'libm.so.0'
    >>> find_library("crypto")
    'libcrypto.so.11'
    >>> find_library("GL")
    >>> find_library("curl")

     - after applying the patch

    >>> from ctypes.util import find_library
    >>> find_library("m")
    'libm.so.0'
    >>> find_library("crypto")
    'libcrypto.so.11'
    >>> find_library("GL")
    'libGL.so.2'
    >>> find_library("curl")
    'libcurl.so.4'

    This patch doesn't solve the case of custom dirs like $PREFIX/qt5/lib.
    However it's solving most common cases of using this call.

    A possible solution is to parse the output "pkg_info -La"... however it's
    very slow. In other words a cache with libraries might be needed to handle
    it efficiently.

    Bump PKGREVISION.
