Log: Fix bug #48575 - Use dlopen() just like all the other *nixes
instead of OSX specific code.

We've got a patch now, will go into PHP 6 and we'll check for 

Is there a technical contact at Apple available for some of our other
questions?

We've tried contacting Apple before for help without success and the
result was blogged about

Quoting from:
http://developer.apple.com/documentation/DeveloperTools/Reference/Mach
OReference
/Reference/reference.html

"These [dlopen() et al] are the recommended functions to use to 
interact with 
the dynamic loader. These functions work in Mac OS X v10.3 and v10.4. 
However, 
in Mac OS X v10.4 they are more efficient than other image-loading 
functions. 
These functions are declared in /usr/include/dlfcn.h."

10.3 was released on 24 October 2003; 10.2 was released on 24 August 
2002, so 
dropping support entirely means no longer supporting seven year old 
software.

This applies to both Leopard and Snow Leopard. And it builds just fine

on Snow 
Leopard. :-)

Do you have any details about what the older versions of OSX are that
required the use of the dyld API?

On a sidenote, are you testing this on Snow Leopard? We don't currently
have an install of this available to test on, things might be broken
there.

Description:
------------
There is a flaw in the logic in the low-level Zend pieces regarding Mac

OS X's ability to use dlopen() and its cousins. When available, those 
standard APIs should _always_ be used in lieu of the deprecated dyld 
functions.

In effect, the #ifdef logic in zend.h should be reversed to use 
HAVE_MACH_O_DYLD_H only if HAVE_DLFCN_H is undefined. However, that 
change caused confusion elsewhere, so the patch below is a skanky 
workaround without applying broader modifications to the Zend core. 
Ideally, Zend should do the right thing and preferably drop support for

those old versions of OS X which needed the dyld APIs; that would 
obviate the need for this patch.

I am writing the bug here because zend.com doesn't have a similar 
facility and this appears to be an embedded use of their toolkit.
