Sorry; it was an obscure reference for a lisp mailing list.  It discusses
C/C++ linking issues, but many would still be relevant if OpenOffice were
written in CL.

Continuing OT, more recommended reading for people making build systems:
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html
http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/DESTDIR.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/Introduction.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/autoconf/manual/html_node/The-GNU-Build-System.html

Again, there's not a 1-1 correspondence with CL, but the underlying
usability issues are universal.
