Hello,


in gst 2.95f some .star package.xml (say NCurses) list the library they
will load at runtime, using <library>libncurses</library>.



The function associated will try to find libncurses.la then
libncurses.so but those do not exist. (The libncurses.so would be
available if the user had libncurses-dev package installed).


The attached patch makes it possible to load using the SONAME of the
library, e.g. using:



<library>libncurses.so.5</library>

in package.xml
