On Windows and OSX, [renderdepthselector] won't create either, though the
file will be open. GetProcAddress and dlsym are case-sensitive. Then after
that, class_new is case-sensitive too (because selectors are
case-sensitive).

Only on filesystems that support it. I say that because FAT is becoming
*more* common on those operating systems; so when you transmit the file
using flash-memory formatted the default way, you have to tar it or zip
it.
