I already did it with dl.open, if it's ugly I'll look into this check_cc
and change it.

So here it is, my somehow hackish patch, now ALL kaa modules build on my
X11-less gentoo, provided that evas-0.9.9.023 (I installed CVS and
evas-config reports this version, and gentoo has a live CVS ebuild for
it) was successfully built & installed.

I tried kaa/xine/test/kaaplayer.py and kaa/xine/test/test.py,
unfortunately they both use kaa/xine/test/kaaplayer.py and
kaa/xine/test/kaaplayer.py, so I couldn't actually see kaa.xine at work.
But importing the modules in a python prompt now works. So where to go
from here, in order to see kaa.xine play something xine-lib can handle,
on DirectFB?
