setting libsuffix on the command line

[Ralf Habacker]

Hi, 

in unix/detect_generic.py there is the following code, which enables to 
specific a custom libsuffix. My question is for which this stuff is 
required ? 


		libsuffix       = ''
  	         if env.has_key('ARGS'): libsuffix=env['ARGS'].get('libsuffix', '')
  	         if not libsuffix:
  	                 if sys.platform == 'darwin':
  	                         libsuffix='.dylib'
  	                 else:
  	                         libsuffix='.so'
  	         env['LIBSUFFIXEXT'] = libsuffix


As far as I know does scons provide the shared lib suffix already in 
env['SHLIBSUFFIX'] so that the above mentioned code would be obsolate or do I 
have overseen something ?
