Oh boy, is that ever a terrible name. You know how many people are going to confuse XT with Xt, the X Toolkit Intrinsics? It gets worse. You say it's actually called "lib XT"? How well is it going to play with the following? /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.a /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6.0 How widely deployed is this stuff already? Is there any hope the upstream author(s) might consider a name change? For that matter, Xp is sometimes used to refer to the X Print Extension; but that is in far less common usage than Xt is. -- G.
