[VM] Linking and external libs

I want to create a plugin that links against an external library using
the existing VMMaker/make scheme.  Does the existing configure/make
system allow for this?  I can modify the existing makefiles and such
easy enough, but I'd like to not touch those if possible.  I would
imagine that it should be possible to list the libs that are needed by a
given plugin in a special file included in the plugin's directory
(either the "Cross" or platform specific directory within "platforms")
and have the build scripts detect it and generate the Makefile with the
appropriate -l options.  Does something like this currently exist, or do
I need to modify the build scripts?
