Yes, this is almost exactly how I did it (except that I created a
single .o from libdps.a and libdpsi.a using ld -r).

I'm not well-versed in Imake magic, and the dps build process is a
nasty hack.  If you have any idea about how to clean it up, I'll be
very glad to include any changes of yours.

I'm planning to make a new release with my latest changes in a few
weeks (sorry, no time right now).  I'll be glad to include your
changes in it.
