It doesn't care particularly what they are, so a SHLIB_EXT of .so.0.0 will work perfectly (and that is what I used initially, but it seemed a little clumsy). For the libraries accompanying the packages etc. that are only dlopen'ed, any extension will do, so I left it as ".so" as that is consistent with most other OS's.
