this is about the "multiload" branch. what is missing there is the
makefile. gnucap should (like gnucap-uf) install a makefile for
single-file plugin load purposes.

gnucap-uf:src/c_attach.cc, calls make as in
  std::string make = OS::getenv("GNUCAP_MAKE", GNUCAP_MAKE);

the line has changed to
  std::string make = "make"; // OS::getenv("GNUCAP_MAKE", GNUCAP_MAKE);
in "multiload". it cannot work this way, because make alone does not
know the rules. the override from environment is meant for
(pre-installation) testing only, which is handy but not essential.

as a first step, gnucap should install what i call GNUCAP_MAKE. if you
agree, i can try to port it from gnucap-uf.
