Description Alan DeMars

Build Identifier: 3.21

For custom IPC and BIOS library environments, the libraries may not exist at the time getLibs is invoked. However, they will definitely exist at application link time.

Some kind of wild card at the beginning of the library path name might be used to suppress the file-exists-checking logic.

Reproducible: Always

fixed for xdctools 3.22: r1328

If a filename name returned by getLibs() begins with the '!' character, this character is stripped and file existence is _not_ checked.  Relative path names are converted into absolute paths by prefixing the stripped file name with the absolute path to the package's base.
