If your library is intended to be portable, then source is really the only
option. You can't include information about every possible compiler, and should
assume that those using the compiler know how to compile a source library.
The PragmARCs include a null program that withs all the packages in the library.
Most compilers have a way to compile everything needed for a program, so that
serves as a kind of cross-compiler build mechanism.
