/**
 * SA uses native debugger back-end library - libsaproc.so on Unix platforms.
 * Starting from 5.0, in Solaris & Linux JDK "libsaproc.so" is shipped with JDK
 * and is kept jre/lib/cpu directory (where all other JDK platform libraries
 * are kept). This implies that always that jre copy of libsaproc.so will be
 * used and the copy of libsaproc.so built from SA sources here will not
 * be used at all. We can override libsaproc.so using this class loader
 * as System class loader using "java.system.class.loader" property. This
 * class loader loads classes paths specified paths using the System property
 * "java.class.path". Because, this class loader loads SA debugger classes
 * (among other classes), JVM calls findLibrary override here. In this
 * findLibrary, we first check the library in the directories specified through
 * "sa.library.path" System property. This way updated/latest SA native library
 * can be loaded instead of the one from JDK's jre/lib directory.
