Dependencies in the Program method

[Zachary Deretsky]

Documentation tells:
Cons automatically sets up dependencies on any libraries mentioned in LIBS:
those libraries will be built before the command is linked.

Why then, in my case, cons is not checking and not building the library
libautils.so specified in the same Conscript file before building the
program autest? I'd appreciate any hints.


Here is part of the "cons -d" log:
