It would be great for the REALbasic compiler to have the ability to link
static libraries as used with C/C++ compilers into REALbasic applications.
Functions inside such libraries would be accessed using declares, where the
declare syntax would be extended to specify a static library, as opposed to
as shared one.

For example: you drag a static library mylib.a into your project.

In the project, you give it a name, like MyLibMacOSX.

To call functions inside this library, you would write a declare like this:

Declare Function Blah StaticLib MyLibMacOSX ( foo as Integer )

To be able to also reference C++ classes in static libraries would be really
helpful. This would, of course be non-trivial, but very useful, saving us
>from writing RB classes just to "wrap" this stuff.
