adding a library

[Sven N. Thommesen]

Marcus,

I'm trying to figure out what to do to add a library of my own to the Swarm
package. Now that we're using the configure 'magic', it's a little more
complicated than it was.

I've found references to the distribution list of libraries in these files:
Makefile.appl.in (lines 17 and 47), configure.in (line 150) and configure
(lines 3007 and 3136). Can I just add my own library (say, (lib)localstuff)
to these places and be ok, or is it more complicated than that?

Would I need to put a 'Makefile.am' in src/localstuff, modelled on one from
another library?

Might it make sense for the Swarm release to contain two empty libraries
(user-pre-lib and user-post-lib), searched before and after the Swarm
libraries respectively, so that users could just add their own objects there?

Cheers,
Sven
