   VMS is not *nix.   
      
   You can do a lot of things on VMS, but I don't think you   
   can do exactly that.   
      
   You can omit location on all libraries except the first and   
   let the sticky default mechanism add it.   
      
   (I don't think that is a nice solution)   
      
   You can define a logical mylib and just use mylib:xxxx/lib   
   to shorten.   
      
   You can setup default libraries with LNK$LIBRARY* logicals.   
      
   You can create shareable images and stuff all of them into   
   a shareable library.
