To clarify something Rene said earlier (I appear to have deleted that mail
eventhough I had intended to reply to it :P) 'gcc' names its libraries
'libpython<version>.{so,a}' because that's the UNIX convention: libraries
are named 'lib<name>.<libtype>', where libtype is '.a' for static libraries
and '.so' for dynamic (ELF, in any case) ones, and you link with -l<name>,
without the 'lib' in front of it. The 'lib' is UNIX-imposed, not something
gcc or Guido made up.
