NAME
       ExtUtils::Mkbootstrap - make a bootstrap file for use by DynaLoader

SYNOPSIS
       "Mkbootstrap"

DESCRIPTION
       Mkbootstrap typically gets called from an extension Makefile.

       There is no "*.bs" file supplied with the extension. Instead, there may
       be a *BS file which has code for the special cases, like posix for
       berkeley db on the NeXT.

       This file will get parsed, and produce a maybe empty
       @DynaLoader::dlresolveusing array for the current architecture.  That
       will be extended by $BSLOADLIBS, which was computed by ExtUtils::Lib-
       list::ext(). If this array still is empty, we do nothing, else we write
       a .bs file with an @DynaLoader::dlresolveusing array.

       The *BS file can put some code into the generated "*.bs" file by plac-
       ing it in $bscode. This is a handy 'escape' mechanism that may prove
       useful in complex situations.

       If @DynaLoader::dlresolveusing contains "-L*" or "-l*" entries then
       Mkbootstrap will automatically add a dlfindfile() call to the gener-
       ated "*.bs" file.
