Summary: dlopen fails loading shared lib modules

Initial Comment:
If the python interpreter is embedded in (built as) a
shared library that can be dynamically loaded by an
application, python shared library modules can not
be imported on Solaris and IRIX.

This works on HP-UX, AIX, and NT.

I have implemented a fix in the attached file 'dynload_shlib.c'
(from python 2.0).

IRIX requires the additional RTLD_GLOBAL 'mode' flag to
be passed to the dlopen calls.

Solaris requires the additional RTLD_GLOBAL and
RTLD_PARENT 'mode' flags to be passed to the dlopen
calls (the RTLD_GROUP and RTLD_WORLD flags were OR'd in
to preserve the defaults).

Please integrate this fix into future versions of python.  I can
provide more detailed information about the problem if necessary.
