+	 Regarding shared and static libraries, there may also be
+	 another open problem in that we don't call
+	 <code>ranlib</code> on static libraries (or <code>ar
+	 -s</code>). This has no particular reason, it is simply that
+	 we don't know what is the right thing to do in a
+	 cross-platform way. Help in the configuration of these things
+	 would be greatly appreciated.
