Ah, of course.  I knew there was a good reason for keeping them
separate.  Its probably worth addressing, however.  I know the GIMP,
for example, keeps all the possible filetypes "hidden" from libgimp,
it just presents gimp_file_load() via the ABI.

I'll rearrange the builds to use the multi-library thing, but its a
bit tedious to have to link to "-lclipper-mtz -lclipper-cns
-lclipper-cif -lclipper-mmdb -lclipper-ccp4".
