The problem i've found is, if the .adb file is in the same directory as
the .ali, .o and the shared lib, the source code will be linked
directly into the final executable. The executable still requires the
shared lib, but it doesn't actually use it. How do you get around this?
Do you dump the ali and shared lib to a different directory?

Thanks,
