Just like the -L option to Unix linkers:

  -L/foo/bar -L/ding/dong

However, I don't think I ever really finished implementing it -- I was
pretty sure it would be needed at some point, but never actually got to
the point where *I* needed it!

And obviously (*giggle*) I never tested it.  D'ohh!

But I'm tired now and going to bed soon.  If I don't get a patch before
tomorrow evening (say, 2000 GMT) then I'll fix it myself.
