David, 

This is absolutely great!

I would recommend to also prepare a semishared version.

The "bindist-semishared" target can assist you in doing that. But prior
running it, copy all the necessary libraries in
$XCRYSDEN_TOPDIR/external/lib/
(you need to copy Tcl/Tl, GL/GLU, fftw and meschach libraries)

E.g., here is a listing from the linux semishared version:

drwxr-xr-x 7 tone tone     4096 Jan 17  2011 bwidget-1.9.4

-rwxr-xr-x 1 tone tone  2156047 Jul 31  2009 libGLU.so.1.3.070200
-rwxr-xr-x 1 tone tone  2284040 Apr  1 12:24 libGLU.so.1.3.071000
lrwxrwxrwx 1 tone tone       18 Apr  1 11:27 libmeschach.so -> libmeschach.so.1.2
-rw-r--r-- 1 tone tone   300152 Apr  1 11:27 libmeschach.so.1.2
-r-xr-xr-x 1 tone tone  1265855 Apr  1 11:15 libtcl8.5.so
-r-xr-xr-x 1 tone tone  1479857 Apr  1 11:16 libtk8.5.so
drwxr-xr-x 6 tone tone     4096 Apr  1 11:15 tcl8.5
drwxr-xr-x 5 tone tone     4096 Apr  1 11:16 tk8.5


Then edit the EXTERNAL_LIB_FILES and EXTERNAL_SHAREDLIB_FILES variables
in top Makefile and finally execute make bindist-shared.

Let me know your progress.

Regards, Tone
