v_repExtRos not working on OS X and Windows

[fferri]

After building v_repExtRos plugin for OS X, it fails to load, because it will look for libv_repExtRos.so, instead of libv_repExtRos.dylib.

I changed the part where it will unconditionally look for the ".so" file, with the corresponding part from v_repExtK3, which is macro based and will look for the correct library for the current platform. (See attached patch)

I don't know if there is ROS for Windows yet, but I just built ROS Indigo for OS X and now I'm playing with ROS, V-REP and v_repExtRos :-)

Thanks again Federico,

you are right. The plugin was actually initially not meant for a different platform that Linux ;)

Cheers
