Uhm ... no. As so many things this stuff is a completely undocumented
process. I'm hoping that Ian will come up with some general (cross
Unix-dialect) solution for building plugins by adding a target like

	make PLUGIN="someplugin.so" CSRC="src1.c src2.c"

The problem is that there are some general things that need to be known
about this particular Unix system (like byte-ordering, certain include
files, compiler and linker settings) and Ian dealt with all of them in the
GNUMakefile.conf

So, if you're not a real Unix hacker you're best of with waiting until
either Ian has fixed up the Makefiles for building plugins or until somebody
out there has compiled the plugin and submitted it to his FTP server
(alix.inria.fr).

Hope this explains a bit (even though it probably doesn't help),
  Andreas
