Thanks for the suggestion but it didn't produce what I need.  It had the
same effect as using "mylib_la_LDFLAGS = -static" which was to build only
static versions, or archives, of the python module.  This makes it so that
the python interpreter cannot use the library: it must be shared.

Thanks anyway,
Andy
