[Mono-osx] Invoke an api using .so library

[Ulrich Hertlein]

A few things:
- OS X uses DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH rather than LD_LIBRARY_PATH
- .dylib is the usual extension for dynamic libraries on OS X so why fight
the tools?

You could also check that the rpath in the library is correct; especially
if you are relying on external libraries, but that is another can of worms.
Other than that it's a straight drop-in from Linux/Windows to OS X, no
special magic required.

Cheers,
