Yes, I'll do that. Sorry for the confusion.

The Makefile for PL/R actually does attempt to use the dylib, and at one
point (at least) worked according to a report that I received. There
have been a couple of reported issues with MacOS X since then though.
Part of my problem in resolving this has been lack of an OS X machine
that I can debug on.
