Dear All,

Thanks for accepting first patch of Linaro development into bellagio.

Please find the attached second patch of dynamic loader and it has
below changes :

1) A new dynamic loader has been added into bellagio core, which will
get installed into directory(/usr/lib/omxloaders) after compilation.
This dynamic loader will load all components present in
directory(/usr/lib/bellagio).
2) bellagio core will load all dynamic loaders present in directory
(/usr/lib/omxloaders)

Please review these changes.

Regards,
Vishal Raj
