I recently came to think about an install_clib command.

The current build_clib builds static libraries, but they can only be used to link them into extensions.

Sometimes it may be usefull to have static libraries around.

True, but then we'd also have to support dynamic libs for completeness (even though I believe that tools like RPM do a better job at managing these). -- Marc-Andre Lemburg ______________________________________________________________________ Company: http://www.egenix.com/ Consulting: http://www.lemburg.com/ Python Pages: http://www.lemburg.com/python/
