Hi David,

That's a core-libs decision but I'm not sure that's a namespace we

I'm open to other suggestion. This helper method avoids the call to
doPrivileged when security manager is enabled and I think it's okay to
add this helper method in sun.security.action package.
BootLoader defines methods to correspond to the methods defined by
ClassLoader so I don't think the loadLibrary method was too bad.
Moreover it was very clear when calling BootLoader.loadLibrary that it
would attempt to load it from the system path. I don't object to putting
this in sun.security.action but it doesn't feel. If it is moved but I
think we'll need to find better names so it's clear in the 20+ places
where it used (and also avoid the temptation to use it in the modules
that aren't mapped to the boot loader).
