it seems that gnu ld/gcc accepts libs in path/libname.a form too
(the normal is -Lpath -lname). if it's supported by other cc/ld too,
then we could change all makefiles/configure to use this, better form.
anyway i think it's gnu specific, so it will cause trouble for ports.

please, people from hpux, *bsd, solaris, darwin etc check it and report if
it works or not. or we just should chaneg and then wiat for bugreports?
not a good idea so close to 0.90 release...
