I'm wondering if anyone has thought to use libtool to compile the shared object file for plugins. The problem with the current setup is that it is extremely Linux-centric. Other platforms don't necesarily use .so as the share object name. I'm also not sure why Linux doesn't barf on the fact that libcross.a isn't made up of position-independant object files. If someone hasn't done this yet, or isn't currently working on it, I'll be happy to make a patch that will make it more platform-independant. Kurt.
