Managing extension module build using automake & friends?

[Skip Montanaro]

I have a small library whose configuration and build process is managed with
the GNU config tools (autoconf, automake, and libtool).  In one subdirectory
is a straightforward Python extension module that wraps the library.  Before
I go reinventing wheels, does someone already have the Makefile.am magic
necessary to build an appropriately linked .so file?

Thanks,
