What is the difference between (for example)
liboctave/array/libarray.la and libgnu/libgnu.la?  Why don't you have
to add liboctave/array/libarray.la explicitly to the liboctinterp.la
link command?  I thought they were both supposed to be handled as
convenience libraries for constructing liboctave.
