And what of the file 'config' which has two references to the swarm libs?

Well, perhaps someone has changes to Swarm objects that aren't relevant to
others; it seems cleaner to put the changed objects into a separate library
than to change the original ones in place. But, seeing as APPLIBS are
searched ahead of SWARMLIBS, using APPLIBS works for me.
