Sure, but as I said, the fix we prefer would involve letting CMake
decide which lib directory to use unless GMXLIB is defined. This way
we can save ourselves from the maintenance hell OS/platform-specific
code. I'm not sure how well does CMake handle this internally, though.

>> endif()

That will be easier and quicker for you, I guess. I will look into the
issue later.
