I'm fairly sure that if there is a better way to to do this, someone
will jump up and say so...
if I need the "m" library, I am really looking for something named
libm* (IIRC). So the foo library should be libfoo*.
also, (and again I cover my ass with IIRC), m, or rather libm, is the
math library (from <math.h> fame). If that is missing, your system
has problems. Someone want to comment?
