Why? Can't you just rename the files to change the extension when you install them?
I thought the LSB specified architecture dependent and independent directories and so the mex files should always be in different directories for different platforms if packaged correctly.The only reason for having the different extensions is so that MEX files for multiple platforms can be installed in the saem directory. Doing that causes trouble for people packaging Octave, doesn't it? The assumption is that binary files go in specific directories (/usr/lib or /usr/libexec instead of /usr/share). But we still have problems because of the way the loadpath works (the assumption being that you can add a package in Matlab by adding a directory to the path).
