The problem with that is that you get thousands of errors about
duplicately defined symbols during linking if a project is somehow
dependended upon twice by two different static libraries (though you are
definitely right about shared libraries). Therefore we try to determine
that a library is only dependended upon once by any given executable.
Visual Studio .NET fixes this problem, but for Visual C++ 6 we have to
be smart about the dependency tree.
