Hello Bob,
I must have missed this one, sorry about that.

Just -L$HOME/expat/prefixdir/lib -lexpat should do at link time, if the
library has no dependencies itself. Most systems allow also adding
plain $HOME/expat/prefixdir/lib/libexpat.a to ensure the static library
is used.
The needed action at run time for linking against shared libraries is
described by the output of `libtool --mode=finish' when installing the
linked-to library. Typically something like adding
$HOME/expat/prefixdir/lib/../bin to $PATH in your case, so that the DLL
is found at run time.

Sure, see above.

That will also help in the case where the library has dependencies
itself. Without libtool, you have to take care of them yourself.
Cheers,
Ralf
