#2150: t/library/nciutils.t fails on windows

Comment(by plobsing):
Normally, it would be wise to simply refer to the library via a loadlib,
but libc is peculiar in that it is difficult to have access to it in a
cross-platform way. For example, on my machine, I am unable to get a
handle on libc by using anything less than the full name
("/lib/libc.so.6").
Parrot needs some mechanism for accessing libc functions via NCI (because
they are frequently useful). I recommend a Configure.pl probe and a
parrot_config entry to determine how to refer to the system's libc.
