This is half-baked, admittedly. extensions/Makefile should be looping over its subdirectories somehow to avoid the big hardcoded string, and "make ext" only works on linux.
Also, the hardcoded paths in the Makefile are not great, but I'd like to change this before merge. Ideally instead of having a lib/linux and lib/macosx both with shared objects (and in-tree), we'd just have a lib/ (or build/, which I think is a bit better) which "make ext" can just fill with the right .so
We'd have to update the github releases to distribute (and generate) independent osx and linux packages, but that seems like a fair price for eliminating the blobs from the tree
Also: I'm not sure where the relevant docs (so that I can specify that that libvterm 3.3+ is required) are: seems the sources for https://lem-project.github.io/installation/ncurses/linux/ aren't actually in this repo?
