I mean code that is loaded by System.loadLibrary, in which the name of
the library is given, but it is looked up on some path. It is
documented that you could set java.library.path at launch time, but I
don't see any way to modify it at run time. I want an analogous
situation as with dynamic classpath. Sorry I wasn't clear.
