Error diagnostics in hpdlfcn.c

A while back I had trouble running R on HP-UX. R couldn't load
shared libraries, and I had no idea what was wrong. The problem
was in the system libraries. I didn't discover this until
someone suggested to add a request for diagnostic messages in
the call to shl_load. 

The problem was solved. It might be a good idea to include this
request for diagnostic messages in the distribution of R, it
might help other people encountering similar problems.


This is for R version 1.2.1:
