It is possible to do things like

        env PKG_LIB="-L/opt/foo/lib -lbar" R CMD SHLIB *.c

to add libraries to the creation of a shared object, but I have from time 
to time wondered if we should allow

        R CMD SHLIB *.c -L/opt/foo/lib -lbar

not least as users seems to expect it to work.  It looks simple to do (at 
least under Unix) if we pass -L* -l* *.a directly to the link command.

Would this be worthwhile?
