xcode2's linker flag is '-all_load'.  There is a '-noall_load' flag, but it
is obsolete and does nothing.  I had hoped it would perform as the GNU
linker's '--no-whole-archive'.

While I enjoy the technical challenge of implementing a per library tag
(i.e. <embed-library>), it is more work than I can justify.

I have a perfectly acceptable method, using <ldflags> and <ldlibs>, in
xcode2 AND gnu, but no method for msvs2005prj.  Ugh.

I'm done thinking about this for today.  Comments?
