iconv, OS X and .dylib

currently, iconv detection doesnt work on OS X (with 5_1), as it looks
for iconv.so instead of iconv.dylib.

The patch by andrei from last week broke that.

http://cvs.php.net/viewcvs.cgi/php-src/acinclude.m4?r1=1.332.2.10&r2=1.332.2.11&pathrev=PHP_5_1

reverting it does help, but AFAICT andrei had his reasons to remove that
part.

The problem is that SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME is used for both bundles (.so)
and dynamic libraries (.dylib) on Mac OS X. These are separate
entities and need to be treated separately. We could probably set
SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME to .dylib on OSX and introduce an additional
variable, something like BUNDLE_SUFFIX_NAME and set it to .so. The
problem is in main.c where it registers PHP_SHLIB_SUFFIX: which
define should it use?

BUNDLE_SUFFIX_NAME sounds fine to me. But can we please revert your
patch for 5.1.3? (Or introduce the proposed new variable). It doesn't
configure at all right now on OS X.

Can people please try this patch:

It works on my Mac but we need to make sure it doesn't break build/dl
() process for shared extensions on other platforms.

If I change

PHP_SHLIB_BUILD_SUFFIX_NAME
to
PHP_BUILD_SHLIB_SUFFIX_NAME

in acinclude.m4 line 1885

it works for me too (on OS X)
