If I understand the configury documentation correctly -- isn't using
explicit dynamic object endings a ``Don't Do That?'' and exactly what
$(LIBOBJS) or $(LTLIBOBJS) is supposed to handle for you? For .lo is
platform specific...

(and no, if I understand... correctly above is no useless rethoric.
I have too often the feeling that those docs are beyond me, really).

But yes, thank you for your idea.
