I'm not sure the runtime_loader expect part of the add-on path to be
embedded in the name. But I may not have read the code properly :)
The current implementation uses the same search algorithm for add-ons as
the one specified for loading libraries via `dlopen()` (just with other
search paths). When the given name contains a '/' it is directly
interpreted as the path to be opened; the search paths are ignored. It
seems BeOS's load_add_on() does (also?) try to append the path to the
search paths. We should investigate the exact semantics...
