Creating shared object without lib prefix

[Bram Stolk]

Hello,

I want to build a python module, which should be created as _foo.so
However, automake/autoconf (as well as libtool) only let me create
sharedobjects with a lib prefix: libfoo.so

See:
> Makefile.am:77: bad macro name `_pyper_la_SOURCES'
> Makefile.am:80: bad macro name `_pyperbonus_la_SOURCES'
> Makefile.am:123: bad macro name `_pyper_la_LDFLAGS'
> Makefile.am:124: bad macro name `_pyper_la_LDFLAGS'
> automake: Makefile.am: `_pyper.la' is not a standard libtool library name
> automake: Makefile.am: `_pyperbonus.la' is not a standard libtool library name

I use: 
automake (GNU automake) 1.4-p6
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
ltmain.sh (GNU libtool) 1.4.3 (1.922.2.111 2002/10/23 02:54:36)

How can I circumvent this?

Thanks

  Bram
