The .ii files contain the relative path to the C++ object file.

I have something working now. However, there is another hiccup. Things
work fine if a libtool convenience library contains objects from *one*
directory. However, when the archive contains objects from multiple
directories, I don't know what to do. The archive at that point won't
give you an indication of where to find the .ii files. I don't think
there's a solution to this so my current solution will solve only part
of the problem.
