Official libraries (and most contributed ones) use the format
lib<name>.a.  This allows the standard linker option '-l<name>' to be
used to link the library.  The Libraries screen in RHIDE uses the same
syntax; enter the name of the library without the leading "lib" or the
trailing ".a" and check the box.  Voila!  It'll get linked to your
program at compile time.
