[clean-list] A little clarfication on linking to LIBS

[Sean Seefried]

This, at some point in the future is going to have to be remedied.  It
simply requires too much extra work, especially considering another problem
I had in which although I imported symbols from a specific DLL and this
worked at compile time, at compile time I got the message that the entry
points for the functions could not be found.

Looking forward to a day when Clean can link to static libraries.
