[Zope-DB] Problem building DCOracle2 in AIX 5.1

[Matthew T. Kromer]

No, in this case, its just wierd AIX linker-isms.

You'll notice that the symbols it cant find have periods in front of 
the names -- probably, it has to have some explicit link list passed to 
the linker to resolve those symbols.  I remember AIX needing that, way 
back when.

Unfortunately, my AIX work was all AIX 3.5 (or was it 3.2.5?) back in 
1995 anyway -- I don't remember it very well, and I especially don't 
remember how to do dynamic shared libraries under AIX.
