It looks like it's a list of libraries that exist and that this is how
programs get linked against those libraries.

It's not clear to me (given a casual inspection) why bsd.lib.mk
doesn't need the same logic for libraries that are linked to other
libraries, but it apparently doesn't.

Probably. It looks like someone needs to take a machete to the make
library :-/
