Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the build configuration for libopentime.so and libopentimeline.so and how the Python extensions link to them; done means the libraries have proper SONAMEs and the extensions use the shared libraries, with packaging for OpenTimelineIO and Olive considered.
