Ah, so you implemented it. I remember Fons and I discussed that some
time ago.
I hope you remember to set the `rpath' when `--enable-rpath' is given to
`configure' - otherwise, it's pretty meaningless.
However, it doesn't change the fact that users have to, by hand specify
the ROOT libraries the client libraries depend on.

But that's an entirely different issue. This has to do with your plugin
manager. I think I brought up the issue some time ago with Fons, that
the plugin manager should really be used more heavily. What I had in
mind, was that libraries like `libFumili' are really plugins and not
libraries at all. Hence, they should live in a separate directory
(e.g., <prefix>/lib/root/plugins), and really be linked like `libtool
-module' would do (on windows, a dll without a corresponding lib file).
Maybe, you could extent the system.rootmap functionality a bit further,
so that clients can add more files of that type to some directory
(/etc/root/plugins), as well as some place to look for additional files
with lines like `+Plugin.<...> ......'. In that way, client code can
easily integrate it's code into ROOT.

Basically the output of `nm -C', massaged a bit, right?
Yours,
