[Patrick H. <pa...@13...>]

I assume you mean the CVS HEAD version. I am referring to the 0.6 branch =
as
I have not yet tested 0.7 on Mac OS X. I have a workaround for this probl=
em
that does not require modifying AutoDist.py; I just wanted to know if the=

way that AutoDist is calling SCons' StaticLibrary() and SharedLibrary()
functions is valid.
