Extensions already (sort-of) worked via add_source - this makes sure that when adding a .(so|dll|pyd), we force zip_safe to False.
In addition this adds the ability to include other shared libraries with the pex. This is intended to be used for dependencies of the python extensions (e.g. a cityhash extension will depend on a cityhash library).

The way this works is a bit hacky and only works well on unix-ish platforms. It works by changing LD_LIBRARY_PATH and re-execing the interpreter (so that the loader picks up the path change). If this should ever need to support windows, using something like AddDllDirectory will likely be cleaner.

will take a closer look at this today or tomorrow. thanks for the PR. this is a pretty oft requested feature.

This is really cool, one comment though. It doesn't handle when --native-library is a symbolic link, either by resolving the link, or with a helpful error message.

With geos on CentOS 6 and this command:

pex -r /src/requirements.txt --native-library /usr/lib64/libgeos_c.so.1 --native-library /usr/lib64/libgeos-3.3.2.so -o /build/env.pex

I get this error:

This is because libgeos_c.so.1 is actually a link:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jul 23 20:27 /usr/lib64/libgeos_c.so.1 -> libgeos_c.so.1.7.2

Noting that #166 has new thoughts by @wickman on this. I'm keeping these 2 linked but closing this issue to keep the conversation over on #166
