Better to use $(SWARMHOME)/etc/swarm so that this script, which has a 
name of a standard system program (as) won't accidentally screw up users 
doing non-Swarm things.  Not often, but sometimes the assembler is 
invoked directly by some builds.  For example, highly optimized 
scientific codes that have their own SSE2 assembly code (e.g. a fft).   
In the case of libtool, the installed version by Swarm is called 
`libtool-swarm', but here we have to call it `as'...
