It seems like the real problem here is that DLLLIBS is being used for
two different purposes.  How about offering a patch that splits it into
two symbols, with no redefinition/overriding necessary?

I've also been wondering why we bother with DLLOBJS, which appears never
to be anything different from OBJS ...
