+Since this module is most often used only indirectly from extension
+C<Makefile.PL> files, here is an example C<Makefile.PL> entry to add
+a library to the build process for an extension:
+
+ LIBS => ['-lgl']
+
+When using GCC, that entry specifies that MakeMaker should first look
+for C<libgl.a> (followed by C<gl.a>) in all the locations specified by
+C<$Config{libpth}>.
+
+When using a compiler other than GCC, the above entry will search for
+C<gl.lib> (followed by C<libgl.lib>).
+
+If the library happens to be in a location not in C<$Config{libpth}>,
+you need:
+
+ LIBS => ['-Lc:\gllibs -lgl']
+
+Here is a less often used example:
+
+ LIBS => ['-lgl', ':nosearch -Ld:\mesalibs -lmesa -luser32']
+
+This specifies a search for library C<gl> as before. If that search
+fails to find the library, it looks at the next item in the list. The
+C<:nosearch> flag will prevent searching for the libraries that follow,
+so it simply returns the value as C<-Ld:\mesalibs -lmesa -luser32>,
+since GCC can use that value as is with its linker.
+
+When using the Visual C compiler, the second item is returned as
+C<-libpath:d:\mesalibs mesa.lib user32.lib>.
+
+When using the Borland compiler, the second item is returned as
+C<-Ld:\mesalibs mesa.lib user32.lib>, and MakeMaker takes care of
+moving the C<-Ld:\mesalibs> to the correct place in the linker
+command line.
