Re: GNUmakefile

[Justin Lolofie]

Ah, yes, this makes sense. I have a working GNUmakefile to build it as a shared library now. I'll pass it on to the developers in case they are interested.

First, Justin needs to compile pldatabase. This raises the question if
he should build it as a library or a framework. In any event, the
natural approach is to write a GNUmakefile to replace the Xcode
project file that comes with pldatabase (or use some tool to convert
it?). If someone tackles this properly, it would be nice to get the
makefile accepted upstream.
