Just as long as it compiles (you are using shared libraries of course?) I
think should be OK. I will remove just one or two from CVS then (maybe gis
and proj) and see if there are any bug reports.

The main thing I worried about the EXTRA_LIBS was it might make the libraries
bigger if you were compiling statically, but I didn't test this and could be
completely wrong.
