This script was contributed by Arjen Baart. Frankly I have no idea what similar scripts do in other packages, and don't want to mess with something that may break compatibility... Could you help me out with a reference or standard somewhere? I'll agree it's not very pretty to have the option names in there, but OTOH it could save a lot of trouble when using multiple libraries--and I think "-L" is just about universally accepted. Removing it would certainly break compatibility with existing Makefiles. Come to think of it, it might be useful to have e.g. the separate socket library included there on Windows, or in the future perhaps the ssl library and/or the threading library of choice. Also, I think having the same libpq in there that libpqxx was built against reduces the risk of version skew between the two libraries.
