It will use the OS facility (for example, dlopen on Unix tries to look
in your DL_LIBRARY_PATH) and in the current directory.  If you want to
distribute binary libraries with Scheme code, then it is best to use
build-path with (this-expression-source-directory) to get a name that
is relative to the source name.
