+ * Ability to override imported installed library path/name.
+
+ Specifically, the config.import.<proj>.<name>.{lib,liba,libs} variables
+ can be used to specify alternative location and/or name for an installed
+ library. This, in particular, can be useful when trying to use a library
+ installed with a prefix or suffix. For example, if the library was
+ installed with the `D` suffix:
+
+ config.import.libfoo.foo.lib=fooD
+
+ For the config.*.lib variable, the valid values are a simple path (which
+ is used as a library name base), an absolute directory (which is used as a
+ library location), or both. For example:
+
+ config.import.libfoo.foo.lib=/tmp/lib/
+ config.import.libfoo.foo.lib=/tmp/lib/fooD
+
+ For the config.*.{liba,libs} variables, the valid values are a simple name
+ (which is used as a library name), or an absolute path (which is used as a
+ library location and name). For example:
+
+ config.import.libfoo.foo.libs=libfooD.so
+ config.import.libfoo.foo.liba=/tmp/lib/libfooD.a
+
+ Note that on Windows, the shared library name/path should refer to the
+ import library, not the DLL.
