• (Michal) I have tried to implement "platform dependend dependecies".
  <pre>
  <depenedency>
  <groupId>a</groupId>
  <artifactId>b</artifactId>
  <type>native</type>
  <version>2.0</version>
  </depenedency>
  </pre>

is resolved as

a/b-2.0.dll (on windows) or a/b-2.0.so (unix)

Maybe it can/should be done differently?
What other "platform depended" artifact type do we have?
exe? shell-script?

• the problem with this approach is that most things that load native libs
  expect the name of the lib to follow a very specific name which usually will
  not conform to maven naming conventions (ie probably wont have -version on
  end). No idea how to fix this. (PD)
