+Lib/ctypes.util.find_library() support for AIX
+Similar approach as done for Darwin support by using separate files
+but unlike Darwin - no extension such as ctypes.macholib.*
+
+dlopen() is an interface to AIX initAndLoad() - primary documentation at:
+https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_61/com.ibm.aix.basetrf1/dlopen.htm
+https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/ssw_aix_61/com.ibm.aix.basetrf1/load.htm
+
+AIX supports two styles for dlopen(): svr4 (System V Release 4) which is common on posix
+platforms, but also a BSD style - aka SVR3.
+
+From AIX 5.3 Difference Addendum (December 2004)
+2.9 SVR4 linking affinity
+Nowadays, there are two major object file formats used by the operating systems:
+XCOFF: The COFF enhanced by IBM and others. The original COFF (Common
+Object File Format) was the base of SVR3 and BSD 4.2 systems.
+ELF:   Executable and Linking Format that was developed by AT&T and is a
+base for SVR4 UNIX.
+
+While the shared library content is identical on AIX - one is located as a filepath name
+(svr4 style) and the other is located as a member of an archive (and the archive
+is located as a filepath name).
+
+The key difference arises when supporting multiple abi formats (i.e., 32 and 64 bit).
+For svr4 either only one ABI is supported, or there are two directories, or there
+are different file names. The most common solution for multiple ABI is multiple
+directories.
+
+For the XCOFF (aka AIX) style - one directory (one archive file) is sufficient
+as multiple shared libraries can be in the archive - even sharing the same name.
+In documentation the archive is also referred to as the "base" and the shared
+library object is referred to as the "member".
+
+For dlopen() on AIX (read initAndLoad()) the calls are similiar.
+Default activity occurs when no path information is provided. When path
+information is provided dlopen() does not search any other directories.
+
+For SVR4 - the shared library name is the name of the file expected: libFOO.so
+For AIX - the shared library is expressed as base(member). The search is for the
+base (e.g., libFOO.a) and once the base is found the shared library - identified by
+member (e.g., libFOO.so, or shr.o) is located and loaded.
+
+The mode bit RTLD_MEMBER tells initAndLoad() that it needs to use the AIX (SVR3)
+naming style.
