The overall structure is certainly nice, but this means you only can
LINK with one backend.  Is that what we really want?

I would have expected something like this:

  * In refs.c, there is a "static struct ref_be *the_refs_backend"
    that points at the chosen singleton backend;

  * Upon start-up, set_refs_backend() function that is exported from
    refs.c can be used to set the_refs_backend;

  * Each refs-be-frotz.c will export "struct ref_be refs_frotz" (or
    perhaps "struct refs_be refs_be_frotz") to the outside world, so
    that the start-up code can call set_refs_backend() with it.

  * It is probably sensible to keep the_refs_backend default to
    &refs_be_files.
