I can only approach this from a windows perspective. Other people will need to look at the linux behaviour.
I believe that the current behaviour of DynamicLibrary::LoadLibrary is correct. i.e. Search the OSG supplied paths first then use the default OS behaviour. This allows a user to override the default behaviour. However I think the default setting of the library search path should be empty for windows as the paths that are currently added are included in the default OS search behaviour. As things are at the moment OS specific paths are always added to it by the call to appendPlatformSpecificLibraryFilePaths which is called (indirectly) by the Registry object constructor. I will be submitting a patch for this in a few minutes time. On the assumption that the code was put there for a reason. I will leave the other OS cases for others to resolve.
