OSX/BSD has RTLD_GLOBAL as the default, linux is undefined.

Hi Timothy, the point of the patch is to let users to choose if load the native library with RTLD_GLOBAL flag or not (I've checked the dlopen manpage on linux and it states RTLD_LOCAL is the default). Since some application may need to load libraries with RTLD_GLOBAL, having the additional OPTION_DLOPEN_GLOBAL could be useful.

In my particular case, the Videolan java binding, I do need to load libvlc with the RTLD_GLOBAL flag, otherwise plugins won't work.

Please consider to apply the patch, since it doesn't change the default jna behaviour and only gives the user an additional option.

Cheers, Filippo
