Hello

Before, the question (later the history): I need to compile a library
that is pure C. I would like this process to be the more portable
possible (strawberry Perl is one of my targets).

Later, this library will be used to:
 - be linked with some extra C code and build some binaries
 - be linked with a XS file to interface with the Perl Module.

Anybody can give me some hints on where to look at? I am looking at
Module::Build::API but not sure if I will be able to accomplish my needs
just looking there :)


Now, if you want to know more:
 - Text::BibTeX was a C library (btOOL) distributed as a C program
(configure/automake approach) and a Perl Module (Text::BibTeX)
distributed with the needed XS code.
 - My objective is to put everything on a Perl module. Why?
   - hopefuly easier to maintain
   - hopefuly getting it compiling under Windows.

Thanks
Alberto
