This should help improve support for multiple versions of sharp that use differing versions of libvips running within the same process by ensuring dlopen accesses the relevant shared library.

Of course, running two (or more) instances of libvips in the same process might degrade performance, but that might be better than having version mismatches.

Note that I'm unsure if we should apply the same approach to Windows builds, as these C++ DLLs are also used by projects other than sharp.

Thanks Kleis, I agree we should not apply this to the Windows builds.

(For sharp the C++ DLL is built/named via gyp.)
