And should never be part of it - for *any* project that provides headers and libraries for other code to use.

One problem is that the configuration settings with which the project was built are *not* necessarily the configuration 
settings with which the other code is being built; it might, for example, be compiled with a different compiler - which 
should be permitted as long as the two compilers build code using the same compiler-level ABI (calling sequence, etc.).
