Now tried to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH, that works too (without this patch). But I 
really do not understand why setting that env var is necessary 
when /usr/local/lib is in my ld.so.conf and considering the following output, 
which is looking good, AFAIK:


$ ldconfig -p | grep libvirt                                                
        libvirt_jni.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libvirt_jni.so.0
        libvirt_jni.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libvirt_jni.so
        libvirt_jni.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/lib/libvirt_jni.so
        libvirt.so.0 (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libvirt.so.0
        libvirt.so (libc6,x86-64) => /usr/local/lib/libvirt.so


Ah, and tried JNA 3.0.9 too, no difference at all.
