The main point of the local/network lib paths is to
use the lib path as a search path. That is, it
searches the paths in order, using the .lib file from
the first lib path that it finds it in. Makes it
easier to do local development - you can muck with a
local copy of a .lib file without changing the network
copy until you're done testing. Since the linker
searches the paths in order, as long as your local lib
path is first in the list, it'll use your local copy
rather than the network copy. Your example doesn't
really cover this case - I want to search ${locallib}
for mylib1.lib, then ${netlib} if it isn't found in
locallib.
Another example of this usage is with the platform
SDK. Eventually Microsoft will ship a platform SDK
which includes newer .LIB files than those included
with Visual Studio.Net (if they haven't already). So I
want to be able to search the PSDK lib directory
first, then the VS .lib directory next. I certainly
don't want the build file to have to change in that
case.
