It's come up on occasion (#2936, http://osdir.com/ml/python.ctypes/2008-05/msg00046.html) that ctypes find_library doesn't search LD_LIBRARY_PATH for libraries, which is different behaviour from the runtime linker. The attached patch adds this search. Unfortunately I can't conceive of a reasonable unit test for this (compiling a shared library in setUp seems a bit overkill.)
