This is hardly doable. Library extensions vary widely from platform
to platform, as does the number of links per library.
Probably the best thing to do is to suggest people to run
`find $prefix -mtime +1' after `make install', to make sure no old
files remained.

Do you mean KAFFELIBRARYPATH? LD_LIBRARY_PATH is unportable; several
platforms have chosen different names for this variable.
BTW, the current `kaffe' script does not take this into account but,
with libtool, we can find out the platform-dependent library path
environment variable and use it. Should I do it?

Yep, it's been functional for a while.
