Mac OS X .dylib

It seems guile-1.8.7 does not admit dynamic library file name  
extensions .dylib, but only .so, on Mac OS X (tried 10.5.8. PPC G4),  
despite the manual saying guile should adapt to local standards. The  
example in the manual sec. 4.2.1 works fine with
  gcc -dynamiclib -lguile -o libguile-bessel.so bessel.c
but not if changed to libguile-bessel.dylib, giving the error within  
guile:
  standard input:2:1: file: "libguile-bessel", message: "file not  
found"

On Mac OS X, it should probably look for .dylib first, and perhaps .so  
for backwards compatibility.
