Added functionality to use static libraries as source for other
libraries. When done this way, the target library will use the object
files from the sourced static libraries, making the sourced libraries
work as "containers" for object files.
We also need to make sure that the Unix Makefile template knows how to
deal with shared libraries and modules that depend on static libraries.
That's new situation we haven't had before.

This function is designed to use $config{shlib_version} directly
instead of taking an input argument, yet the BASE variant didn't do
this.

This is the start of a major work to correct some quirks in the
buiding system. The base for this is to move certain attributes that
lack desired flexibility from Configurations/*.conf to perl modules
that can be selected with one single attribute in the config targets.
The way this is meant to work is by adding this attribute in select
config targets:
perl_module => 'Name'; # Name to be replaced
Then, in the perl scripts or modules that need the functionality,
these lines should be added:
use lib catdir($srcdir, 'Configurations'); # Ensure access to platform.pm
use lib $blddir; # Ensure access to configdata.pm
use platform; # Will load platform::$target{perl_module}
