As you are well aware, this only works on systems where the linker 
applies implicit dependency libraries during linking.  Failure results 
when a shared lib does not specify any dependencies, or the OS does 
not support it.

For example, specifying just -lpng might not cause the linker to 
implicitly add -lz.
