[PATCH 4/4] dlopen: on unspecified lib dir search exe dir


Applications installed to some prefix like /opt/application do expect
dlopen("libAPP.so") to load "/opt/application/bin/cygAPP.dll", which
is similar to "/opt/application/lib/libAPP.so" on Linux.

* dlfcn.cc (dlopen): For dlopen("N"), search directory where the
application executable is in.
