do not stat extensions when an extension was already given

[rurban]

See TT#126 and TT#123

src/library.c:

Optimization for stats for library files with given extensions, so that stat("library/Stream/Sub.pir.pasm") and so on for .pbc, .pasm, .pir should not happen.

load_bytecode "library/Stream/Sub.pir" should not search for "Sub.pir.pbc", "Sub.pir.pasm", and "Sub.pir.pir"

So if the file already ends with ".pir", ".pasm" or ".pbc" do not try to append extensions.

Also: If the given string is a directory, do not fail, try the extensions instead. e.g. load_bytecode 'Test/Builder'

The fix for the directory problem is simple.

try_load_path() is a bad name. It also finds directories, but it should not. It should only find files or symlinks.

I'll add that check to the stat and rename it to try_load_file(). It is only used in src/library.c

Added as r34932 in pdd30install_stage3  http://www.parrotvm.org/svn/parrot/revision?rev=34932

Another minor MSWin32 fix for the test was added with r34939 Thanks to Ronald Blaschke

The  paste is no longer available. Nor is the pdd30install_stage3 branch. We don't have a t/src/library.t in trunk.

So I think this ticket is either superseded or defunct. Closing.
