I suspected that was the case, but wasn't sure. :-) Interestingly
though is that technically the references will change. As with the
modular setup *all* libraries will need a target to reference when
used. And many, many, header only libraries do not have such targets.
Adding those targets will be a big chunk of the PRs I will submit.
