Makefiles in contributed packages

Hello,
I have a couple of suggestions that will help persons with
machines/OSs that use extensions other than ".so" for shared libs:
1) Use the variable SHLIBEXT (defined in Makeconf), DONT use "so" or "sl".
2) Use the method in "modreg" to load the dynamic lib:
.First.lib <- function(lib, pkg) library.dynam("modreg", pkg, lib)
DO NOT USE
library.dynam("eda.so")
Now, I have to edit every package Makefile and zzz.R files for
hpux10.20 installs.
My experience (doing this for Windows, where it is .dll) suggests
-- in all cases bar funfits I can just delete the Makefile
-- R INSTALL has a line
cat `ls ${dir}/*.[RSqrs]` > ${lib}/${pkg}/R/${pkg}
Add an sed command there to change ${lib}.so to ${lib}.sl (or whatever).
[That is not really what is done under Windows, but is effectively what
Guido's Makefile does.]
Package funfits is a bit harder: I just deleted all the unused (with S/R)
source code, keeping the list in OBJS.
