I suppose it's common to expect that -L$*LIBS results in an empty string
when $LIBS is empty.  I can change that.  It does mean an incompatible
change, but I expect it to be very unlikely that anybody will be bitten
by this.

When using something like  -L$*(LIBS).lib  the result is empty when
$LIBS is empty, right?  But how about this:

	one =
	two = aa bb cc
	:print my$*one$*two

Should this print nothing or myaa mybb mycc ?

If you think it's nothing, then what should this do:

	one = aa bb cc
	two =
	:print my$*one$*two

Another variang is using $two instead of $*two.
