I'm afraid I don't have a solution for you.  Reading through your post, 
I'm confused about why you want to have your .so file outside of the 
package?

Why not follow the usual scheme and R CMD INSTALL yourPkg with the 
version of R code and C code you want to use/test.  This would best 
allow other people to have a single version of the R package, no?

+ seth
