It would be nice to be able to load library packages that were in the REXX_PATH.

Both dlopen and LoadLibrary will open the library given its full path
name.  So, if we searched the REXX_PATH for the file and found it, the
full path name could be used and it should work the same on Windows.

Windows also has a function, SetDllDirectory() which you can use to
add paths to the default DLL search path.  Once you augment the path,
it stays that way for the life of the process.  On Windows, we could
augment the DLL search path with the REXX_PATH directories on startup
and REXX_PATH would automatically be used for the library search.
