I am trying to tweak the python package to get support for xml - it requires
expat. I thought I had a clever (for my first openpkg patch) solution to
pick up libraries from the openpkg installation but I think I am now butting
my head against the static library policy - how do you get binary extensions
to scripting languages without shared libraries? Any thoughts? This may be a
show stopper for me. Here are the errors that occur while building python on
solaris (7 and 9):
