Project|Program Name, put here the name of the output library, example:
libmine.a

Yes, and it works! ;-)

Yes, any project which target name is a .a will be a library.

If your project generates a library *and* an executable do it with nested
projects, like in the RHIDE project.

Of course.

Yes, that's used in RHIDE and SETEdit.

If you put the library and you change any of the sources that belongs to that
library RHIDE won't recompile the library. But if you include the project of the
library RHIDE will check these dependencies too.
