    Tweak link order slightly to prefer user shared libs before system ones. · 3d17f1f1
    Tamar Christina authored and Ben Gamari's avatar Ben Gamari committed
    We currently always prefer shared libraries before import libraries and
    static libraries. This is because they're faster to load. The problem is
    when shared library are installed in the Windows directory. These would
    supersede any user specified ones.
    
    This is bad because e.g. Windows now ships icuuc, but an old version.
    If you try to use -licuuc then it would pick the Windows one instead of
    your user specified one.
    
    This patch slighly tweaks the ordering so user paths get prefered.
