Subject: Problem on case-sensitive Darwin

While most Mac users run their Mac OS X on case-insensitive HFS+, there 
are some that use UFS or case-sensitive HFS+. Octave builds for them, 
but doesn't work, because the module-loading mechanism is broken.
(See the message 
http://www.mail-archive.com/fink-users%40lists.sourceforge.net/msg21549.html 
and its thread for the bug-hunt story).

The reason is the line

   AC_CHECK_HEADER(Mach-O/dyld.h)

in configure.in. It has been there for three years, but the header file 
is actually called

   /usr/include/mach-o/dyld.h

Two years ago, the related line in liboctave/oct-shlib.cc

   #include <Mach-O/dyld.h>

was corrected to

   #include <mach-o/dyld.h>

The line in configure.in should be corrected in the same way.
