      as i assume it wants to look rather in /usr/local than in /usrlocal .

  Yeah, apparantly I fixed that at one point, and somehow managed to unfix that.

  Probably nicer would be some way to pass the location of these files on the 
command line, like you can for the client to find various bits.

I think you could also do something like 'setenv LDFLAGS -L/.../...' and that 
would work.

  The python library stuff is a bit of a pain - it is a static library that 
includes the version number.  Thus, you can't just check to see if libpython.a 
exists in any of the directories - you need to check for any of the various 
versions it may be known as.

  I believe the plugin is in fact installed on metalforge. It's just by default, 
I don't think anything uses the plugin, and I haven't bothered to do bits to set 
up stuff to use it.  My support on that is basically to do cvs updates, see why 
it crashses, and to look at player files that seem unusual.  Going in and doing 
special customizations is a bit more than I want to get involved with (consider 
metalforge a 'reference' implemenation of a crossfire server.
