I don't have much experience with native liblaries but I think that at least
maven should be able to help people who are using liblaries like SWT
(there is quite a lot of them).
In maven-artifact I solved this problem by introducing special artifact
type: "native"
With possiblity of defining "repository layout" per both artifact type and
platform in place type "native"
can be mapped to following layouts:
native=${groupId}/native/linux/${artifactId}-${version}.so
or
native=${groupId}/native/windows/${artifactId}-${version}.dll
