And then we'll have to add yet another "-import" switch for DLL
support. Now we have 3 switches doing essentially the same:
Telling the compiler which modules are currently compiled and
which modules are part of an external library. Instead of just
using the next best simple solution, I think we should take a
step back, think about this and design a proper, generic
solution.

I had the same idea but mine was to add this metadata in the
library file itself instead of having it as a separate file.
However, this design is "orthogonal" to -i= and -unittest=, in
both cases you may want to include/exclude certain modules
regardless of whether or not they are in a library.
