Feel free to improve it :).  The bottom line is that it works for most  
cases, and with a simple "make" you can compile most of the externals  
in CVS.

It does handle libraries, check out externals/build/src/ogg*.c and  
externals/build/linux/ogg*.libs.

Feel free to update them if that'll make a difference to something that  
you are doing, unless Günter objects.  This build system that he wrote  
is more flexible that you might guess, tho it is unorthodox.  But  
considering how chaotic Pd development and the Pd CVS are, I think its  
a good solution.
