Wow, I didn't expect such usage. But I'm not sure we should support
this usage. The reason why I employed symbolic link instead of iptables
searching libxt_*.so is to keep codes simple. Actually I'm not familiar
of 'tryload' argument of find_{match,target} so I just kept the behavior of
them :) If I come up with good idea, I will support it.
