The compiler automatically adds the "lib" prefix and the sharedsuffix  
in case of external declarations (and additionally, on Mac OS X the  
library name in external declarations is not even used, only the  
{$libklib xxx} directive matters -- but there the compiler performs  
the same transformations of the library name).
