Easy. You just need to link with boost_python library and the shared 
object should be called something.so (not libsomething.so): g++ src1.cpp 
src2.cpp -shared -o something.so -lboost_python -lCGAL ... In scons 
(gui/SConscript) this boild down to


env.SharedLibrary('SpherePadder',['SpherePadder/SpherePadder.cpp','SpherePadder/SomethingElse.cpp'],SHLIBPREFIX='',LIBS=env['LIBS']+['boost_python','CGAL'])

(In yade, boost_python (which can also be boost_python-mt on some archs) 
is already in env['LIBS'].)

If you want, I could make scons detect CGAL (in SConstruct) and if it is 
found, build SpherePadder in extra as well.

If they are not too many, that should work just fine.
