Here is another small improvement possible, without actually breaking
compatibility much.
Say we have a build system that builds but doesn't try to install. So
we have the problem of _portably_ copying shared libaries in
build.install.lib. It can be done with per-platform overrides, but an
easier option would be to for LR to provide the missing extension. So
we'd get:
build = {
type = "command",
build_command = 'lake',
install = {
lib = {
'mylib'
}
}
}
Currently LR can't find 'mylib', but in the case of no extension,
append .dll or .so as appropriate.
Since I have a build system that doesn't install (Lake) I naturally am
interested in anything that makes this simpler ;) (Lake is nice
because it can be given as a dependency in a rockspec)
