     Most compilers embed the names of needed libraries in object
     files. These are called default libraries. LINK searches default
     libraries automatically; you do not need to specify them in the
     <libraries> field.
 
     LINK searches explicitly specified libraries (in the order in
     which they are named) before default libraries. An explicitly
     specified default library is searched in the order designated.
 
     To ignore default libraries, use the /NOD option. Most compilers
     expect their object files to be linked with default libraries.
