Actually, this is reasonable... my biggest problem with Perry's original
proposal is that the library was all the way at the end...

...If we do have a LIBRARY section, the library names should be -mandoc
macros:

.Lb libc

...or something like that, that emitted:

    Standard C Library (libc.so, libc.a)

.Lb libm

    Math Library (libm.so, libm.a)

..and if it's not found:

.Lb libfoo

    Foo library (libfoo.so, libfoo.a)

...etc.
