Import and Import C accept var for path to lib

It seems utterly daft that Import and Import C only accept a literal path to a lib, given that the lib could be in different places on different machines or OS versions etc.

Variables are unknown at Import time.
You can use #MyLib$ = "somelib.lib" and CompilerIf's.

Variables are unknown at Import time.
So that is the problem to be solved.

The imported libraries are combined into the final executable when you compile. Variables only have a value once the program is running. That is why only constant expressions are allowed.
It is like asking for variables to be allowed in IncludeFile statements.
