I currently just set my own variable $(DLLOPTS).  I just wanted to
check to see if there's a better way.  And actually, of the 5794357983
messages I send to this list every day, most of them are me trying to
switch from my jury-rigged, makeshift ways of doing things to the real
way of using automake.  This list has been a great help in that
regard, so thanks again!
