And what would the file extension be for a '.dll/.so' ?
"dll" and "so", respectively. 
Well, Ok, sometimes on windows, you'll get .ocx files, which are ActiveX components, and are really dlls, though they also have to follow some additional conventions.

You need to add in there dylib. For instance, wxEuphoria *should* run on OS X also, no? I can take an unaltered C wxWidgets app and compile/run on Windows, Linux and OS X.
In the past, open_dll would take a lib file to load and would return -1 if it couldn't be loaded. You would then try the next, and next, and next and finally err. However, the new open_dll in 4.0 saves you a lot of work, simply do:
constant hDll = open_dll({ "myfile.dll", "myfile.ocx", "myfile.so", "myfile.so.1", "myfile.so.1.0", "myfile.so.1.0.0", "myfile.dylib" }) if hDll = -1 then crash("Could not open myfile shared library.") end if
It will cycle through the list and return the handle to the first one that loads successfully.
