Hi Scott,

at present there is no build option to print out a message - it could be
done if required.  I tend to run the executable under gdb, break at main
and single step into each init function - this is much harder if it is
built as a shared library though.  But for a regular 'a.out' it works
well - especially if one uses 'fin' to finish each init function.
Let me know if the change to the build option to insert 'printf's would
be a useful debugging feature,

regards,
Gaius
