The usual use of a private shared library is where you have a suite of apps that have common functionality that are developed by the same upstream. In this case the shared lib saves disk and memory. Theoretically the API could be stabilized and the lib made public but often there is not the demand for this and upstream does not have the will to do it. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
