Determine library script

[Christopher Armstrong]

Hi all

Find below a useful script for compiling against libraries. I find when
I'm doing library development, I need to change between debug and
release targets, or static and shared library targets. Below is
something useful to determine the name of a library you are linking
against in your project directories at compile time.

For example, if you have a library called "abc" that you want to link
against in a test program called "mytest" you would do something like:

TOOL_NAME = mytest
ADDITIONAL_LIB_DIRS+= -L../abc/$(LIB_COMPDIR)
ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS+= -labc$(LIB_SUFFIX)

I couldn't find any equivalent in the gnustep-make package, so I hope
people find this useful.

Regards
Chris
