[C++] Making portable

In SCDL, <implementation.cpp> elements specify the name of a DLL or 
shared library containing the implementation of a component.

On Windows: <implementation.cpp dll="Accounts.dll"/>
On Linux: <implementation.cpp dll="libAccounts.so"/>

This is not portable, our samples currently need two different 
sca.module files for Windows and Linux and some magic in the build 
scripts to copy and use the platform specific one.

I suggest the following change:
  <implementation.cpp dll="Accounts"/>
we will load Accounts.dll on Windows
we will load libAccounts.so on Linux

This change would have to be proposed to the SCA specification folks as 
well.

Any thoughts?

Sebastien,

I have raised a Jira for this and have also raised it in the spec group.

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TUSCANY-494

My solution also adds an optional path= attribute which is a relative path
(from the module root) to the dll.

Cheers,
