Bug#693481: find_library() in python-webm



* Antoine Martin <antoine@nagafix.co.uk>, 2013-06-22, 17:41:
As for the hard-coded library names, this is unfortunate but was needed to make it work on all the platforms we support (I can't remember for sure, but I think "find_library" did not work on OSX for example). We *could* use "find_library" once it has been proven to work everywhere

Please don't, unless you fancy your software segfaulting. find_library is fundamentally broken: it gives you a library with unpredictable ABI.
