The HPFIRSTLIBRARY Intrinsic will return the name of the first
XL in the binding sequence, which will work in the above case.
If the user specified more than one, this will only get you
the first one, and I'm not aware of a method to get any
additional library names.

If you know that there will never be more than one library
specified, this is all you need.
