Revision 667

+ OUCH ARGHH
+ Okay the wizzy linkHack doesn't work. Not sure why but py_tests fail
when the shared library is on the link line directly (without a -l)

+ Unfortunately we can't figure out how to use -l without it prepending
a lib prefix. Hence all the shareable objects in python now need to be
called libblah.so (and lib will need to be prepended on windows!!!!).
This is not the python way and its very annoying. Why do we have this
problem? Because the C++ shared libraries link with each other.
