This object carries all the information neccessary in order to link a single binary object (binary, archive or dll). The data includes: 0. The object files participating in the link. 1. The project internal libraries participating in the link and their respective versions. 2. The project external libraries participating in the link and their respective versions. 3. The version that needs to be given to the result. 4. The platforms on which this targets needs to be linked.

This object is used by other objects in the Meta system but you may use it on it's own for whatever purpose. In Meta it is used to hold the data about a needed link opt and supply it to various tools that know how to create the target from this data.
