As the NaN makefile system builder I'm interested too of course ;-)

Yep. By default. You can override per library if you wish by setting an
environment variable. The build system prints these while linking.

Dunno. As I said on the 'Blender liberation day' conference, I won't
stand in the way of the auto* efforts. It's up to ppl like you to
choose. Of course I'll miss my build system if you choose to ditch it
though ;-)
