John runs screaming from the building......!

OK, so the same compiler could produce any one of:

"iw"
"iw-8.0"
"iw-8.0-vc7"

This is *impossible* to handle with auto-linking and even worse than version 
1!

What I really want to aim for if possible:

For any given compiler, there is one and only one possible name that can be 
produced, and that name can be derived *entirely* from information available 
to the C++ preprocessor.

Otherwise, I might as well just give up and rip out all of the auto-linking 
code, sorry!

John.
