The current Makefile.shlib will fail in the install target if the platform
has no shared library support.  This is a bug because Makefile.shlib
should provide transparent library building.  However, it might have been
that the installation would silently proceed if the local version of
'install' was sufficiently ill-behaved.  But we don't use that anymore.

In any case, the 7.2 release will have shared library support on SCO (at
least theoretically), and I'll make sure that Makefile.shlib gets fixed.
