This may break Solaris, among other things. If you don't use -l to
specify shared libraries, the path to the library is *hardcoded* as
being in the build tree. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH won't override it.
This is not acceptable.
Grumble... and on some other platforms, using -L will cause the path to
the shared library to be hardcoded in the build tree.
It's beginning to sound like we need a shell script to abstract away the
concept of "how to link an executable", which will do different things
depending on the !@#! operating system.
