Wait till you see the 1.0 configuration setup -- to add or delete a
module to the interpreter, you only edit one line in a setup file -- a
module description that gives the module name(s), object file(s),
additional -I and -D flags, and additional libraries to link with. It
shuld be pretty simple to use this same setup file to also generate a
Makefile that creates and installs the required .so files (or .o files
for non-shared-library dynamic loading).
