Ok, I understand. But does it need to load the *source* of the
extension? I thought csc would be able to load the extension
(the shared library) before compiling.
(It would be more convenient than having to give the full path of the
egg when compiling)


BTW, you mentioned a "-extension" flag; I suppose you meant "-extend"?

-X -extend FILENAME            load file before compilation commences
