Yup:

https://github.com/matthew-brett/mpl-osx-binaries/blob/master/wscript#L20

through line 44 define the build rules for the libraries.

I then (this came from John H's make script I think) delete any shared
libraries:

https://github.com/matthew-brett/mpl-osx-binaries/blob/master/wscript#L183

and force mpl to link against these libraries first by setting
'basedir' in 'setup.cfg':

https://github.com/matthew-brett/mpl-osx-binaries/blob/master/wscript#L183

I should probably disable building the shared libraries as Matt T does
in his builds.

Cheers,

Matthew
