Library finder doesn't like paths with "." in them

[Andrew Collette]

The code which looks for threaded libraries gets a bit confused with things like ".local"; I have FFTW_PATH set to /home/collette/.local/lib. On loading, I got this message:

UserWarning: Could not load threading library /home/collette/_threads.local/lib/libfftw3.so, threading support is disabled

I was going to suggest using splitext in lib.temp.py, but this seems to be there and commented out. :) This is with PyFFTW 0.2.

I committed a fix for this to bzr could you check if that fixes your problems. The reason the splitext part is uncommented is because under some systems the filename will contain the version like /usr/lib/libfftw3.so.3.1.2 and splitext thinks only the 2 is the extension.

The fix unfortunately does not work... I've attached a patch for lib.tmpl.py which resolves the issue for me and should work OK with complex sonames.

Duh, I only fixed the bug half way. Note to self: no bug fixing before coffee. I've applied your patch now thanks.
