Yes, I know, and do accept that :-) Just had to rid myself of a little
annoyance  ... (probably wasn't good wording, but such is the krux of 
non-native speakers)

I hoped, you would test on hpux, but yes. sorry. The only diff to my latest 
patch that Bruce keeps in queue is the "-lc", no ?

Note for future fix:
I think actually hpux only failed, because it has a broken Makefile.shlib.
It is Makefile.shlib's business to know that the link line for
a shlib needs -lc ? Other ports that still use ld to link seem to get 
this right (mainly the BSD's). (Makefile.port might also be the place 
to do this)

As a short test you could test plpython on hpux with current cvs.
My guess is, that it doesn't work.

Possibly -lc should go into Makefile.shlib, but that doesn't eliminate
the need for a special case in pltcl's makefile --- at least as long as
it depends on tclConfig to tell it how to link.  The problem is that
TCL_SHLIB_LD_LIBS comes up empty on HPUX, but you still need to put
$(TCL_LIBS) into the link command.

Could be.  I don't have python installed here ...
