hi Guenter, Frank,
no doubt, the central repository for externals is great idea.
No doubt, loading externals on demand is better than using -lib option. Any cyclone object may be loaded on demand, except for operators (talking about linux build, which is what I use).
Not sure, though, what is your expected target installation -- do you expect everybody would have all externs from cvs installed? This is going to be huge...
If not, how would one make the selection?

Another advantage of single over libraries of externals is that name conflicts are easier to spot.
but are not they harder to resolve that way?
The build-system, Guenther installed, is actually rather simple for single externals. Just put a file into "build", that C-include's the real file.
do you mean one should simply #include all the shared code? or maybe one should not use shared code at all?
