I see. This requires parsing all patches I use for all objects I use from the iemlib and change my start up files :-(
Hi Piotr,
Have you tried to create the objects from iemlib ? Are some of them failing to load ? The advantage of single externals is that they load on demand without having to load a library first, so iemlib in the installer just works (TM) without changes.
You only have to change your startup file if you want to get rid of the (now useless) error message when trying to load iemlib.

I think you have good reasons to leave the common concept of libraries
- loading single objects can be advantagous in some cases. Would you
mind to include the iemlib as a library in your distributions, additional to the individual objects of iemlib in /extra? (did you really compile them _all_ separately? WOW!). This would give us a kind of backward compatibility and let you include the concept of single objects. The price for this solution would be an about 200kB bigger distro, which I think is affordable. And more work for you, of course :-)
br, Piotr
