    \brief Locates library files outside the project.

    On Windows, searches for library files within directories specified by the \c PATH environment
    variable.

    On Unix, searches for library files within directories specified by the \c LIBRARY_PATH
    environment variable, as well as in \c "/usr/lib" and \c "/usr/local/lib".

    On Linux, also searches in platform-specific directories, such as \c "/usr/lib64" and
    \c "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu".

    For example, LibraryProbe can be used to search for a \c zlib library as follows:

    \code
    import qbs.Probes

    CppApplication {
        Probes.LibraryProbe {
            id: zlibProbe
            names: "z"
        }
        cpp.libraryPaths: zlibProbe.found ? [zlibProbe.path] : []
        cpp.dynamicLibraries: zlibProbe.found ? [zlibProbe.names] : []
        files: 'main.cpp'
    }
    \endcode
