I overlooked his mail.  Do you mean something like this? (I don't know yet 
how to express this in Perl)
for each Makefile in under top_dir_in_source_tree or src/interfaces
{ if (Makefile contains SO_MAJOR_VERSION) {   extract NAME value from Makefile   move lib/lib${NAME}.dll to bin/ }
}
But the source tree contains as many as 206 Makefiles.  I'm worried that it 
will waste the install time.  Should all these Makefiles be examined, or 16 
Makefiles in src/interfaces/?
