Comment (by simonmar):
Currently the options make sense to someone who understands the
implementation, but they make little sense to the user. I suggest we
rethink the options, with a focus on the various modes of use that we want
to support. e.g. just adding `-dynamic-lib` for building a module to be
placed in a shared library would probably be enough: the idea would be
that you use `-dynamic-lib` when building the library, and `-dynamic` when
building the exe.
`-dynamic-lib` would imply `-dynamic`, `-fPIC` where necessary, and
`-shared` when linking.
