You can use --with-defaultdir if you have several libraries in the
same place.  The duplicate swarm-1.3/lib is due to there not being
a special `rpath' directive under HPUX; -L is used.  There isn't
post processing done to reduce duplicate -L options; there could be
identical ones for Tcl, Tk, BLT, png, zlib, etc.  It's harmless, though.
