TODO

-when going into an implementation (like gcc_dbg_dll):

-check that trg0 has only one string element

-check that this element is a valid shared library name: dlls/gcc/dbg/lib[name].so

-check that there are strings in stc0 (at least 1)

-check that there are no other stuff (prms, other targets, other srcs)

-move all the code here into a library.
