Adding a shared library to the sources of a program is not supported.
Should it work?

You can specify the dependency explicitly:

	:dll dog : dog.cpp
	:program go1 
		{var_LIBS= -ldog }
		{var_LDFLAGS= -L. }
		:
		go1.cpp
	go1 : dog

Since you use "-ldog" this is more logical than adding "dog" as a source
file.  Aap cannot know which "dog" library you want to link with (could
be a system library), thus I don't think this should be done
automatically.
