Bug#698111: ITP: zimlib -- Standard library implementation of ZIM specifications
Git repository for zimlib shows rename was done in 2009, zim was
already a few years old at that time.
Afraid little I can do to resolve the clash other than renaming my
application, which needless to say, I don't want to because I like the
name.
Regards,
Jaap
