-libpath?

[Jonathan Marler]

What do people think of adding an argument to DMD to add library 
search paths?  Currently the only way I know how to do this would 
be via linker-specific flags, i.e.

GCC: -L-L/usr/lib
MSVC: -L-libpath:C:\mylibs
OPTLINK: -L+C:\mylibs\

NOTE: the optlink version only works if no .def file is 
specified.  If you have a .def file, then you can't add any 
library search paths :)

If we added a new "linker-independent" flag to dmd, then you 
could add paths using the same interface regardless of which 
linker you are using.  I'd expect the argument to be something 
like:

-libpath=<some-path>

The disadvantage is it would be another command line option added 
to DMD.  If there is general agreement that this is a desirable 
feature, I'll go ahead and implement it.
