Hi,
I'm working on a dynamic PMC that ties into the GNU dbm library, http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/info/gdbm/gdbm_toc.html.
The implementation is fairly straightforward, and simple test cases are already working. However I'm not sure about how to check for the availability of 'libgdbm.so'. If 'libgdbm.so' is not there I do not want to compile and I want to skip the tests.
I could check for 'libgdbm.so' in the core Parrot configure step. But this is not nice, as core Parrot shouldn't need to know about funky extensions.
So the real question is, wether something like 'h2xs', Module::Build, 'extrb' is planned for Parrot.
CU, Bernhard
