Yes, I know, and do accept that :-) Just had to rid myself of a little
annoyance ... (probably wasn't good wording, but such is the krux of
non-native speakers)

I hoped, you would test on hpux, but yes. sorry. The only diff to my latest
patch that Bruce keeps in queue is the "-lc", no ?

Note for future fix:
I think actually hpux only failed, because it has a broken Makefile.shlib.
It is Makefile.shlib's business to know that the link line for
a shlib needs -lc ? Other ports that still use ld to link seem to get
this right (mainly the BSD's). (Makefile.port might also be the place
to do this)
As a short test you could test plpython on hpux with current cvs.
My guess is, that it doesn't work.
