Yes. I was hoping that would be rather clearly documented...

Any way, my plan is to make a clear separate directory `import-libs` or 
something like that, so we can clearly separate import libraries from "proper" 
static libraries, which is not really done right now. I think and hope that 
after I'm done, everything will be much clearer, so whatever changes you need 
to do are obvious and simple.
