[Pythonmac-SIG] Another build question: ssl?

[Ronald Oussoren]

I understand your position, but wouldn't it be more prudent to search 
for .dylibs before .so? That would be slightly incompatible with Python 
2.2.2, but would make sure you look for "official" libraries before you 
start to look for (badly configured) add-on packages.

IMHO it is rather odd to have a non-standard shared-library extension 
in the search-path before the standard one.\

BTW. The manual page for ld(1) on Jaguar doesn't mention .so as a valid 
library extension, are you sure 'libfoo.so' will be used at all when 
linking with '-lfoo'?
