yes, but for me the default Template.dir (altough it looks ugly, 
probably you might want to move it to .libs or something) was ok.

that was not so clear, i agree. what i meant was if i put the objects in 
Template.dir into the convenience library (with ar cru) and do not add 
them while building the real library ('cause they should already be in 
the convenience library) they do NOT end up in the final library and i 
get unresolved references. this means (at least for me now) that when i 
build the final library i have to add all the template objects of ALL 
convenience libraries + the convenience libraries themselves. i think 
this is weired. maybe i forget something when building the convenience 
library?

i would appreciate a lot! (right now i only have the intel compiler to 
produce OpenMP code, i would like to see another one) - and we actually 
bought the PG compiler.

i couldn't get it to work using shared libraries (although i did not try 
very hard)
