On the other hand, the capability of dynamically adding an optional
library could be a useful feature in general -- not only for LZO
compression support, but for other things in the future.
I'm thinking that we could allow the user create an "extralibs" file
in the top-level directory, and then build_configure() in configure.c
could read it and dynamically create the LDFLAGS= line in the Makefile.
Currently LDFLAGS can only be modified manually, but the -static example
hasn't worked for a long time, and should be removed.
