   * is incremented. If not, the module is searched in the following order:
   *
   * 1. If @a file_name exists as a regular file, it is used as-is; else
   * 2. If @a file_name doesn't have the correct suffix and/or prefix for the
   *    platform, then possible suffixes and prefixes will be added to the
   *    basename till a file is found and whatever is found will be used; else
   * 3. If @a file_name doesn't have the ".la"-suffix, ".la" is appended. Either
   *    way, if a matching .la file exists (and is a libtool archive) the
   *    libtool archive is parsed to find the actual file name, and that is
   *    used.
   *
   * At the end of all this, we would have a file path that we can access on
   * disk, and it is opened as a module. If not, @a file_name is opened as
   * a module verbatim in the hopes that the system implementation will somehow
   * be able to access it.
