I removed the explicit interdiction of using -fPIC with static libs because I thought this had nothing to do in policy. I don't think we should write things such as "your library MUST be named like this". What you want to say with "libraries are expected to be named like this" is that "it's currently best to name them like this", it's the recommended way, it's correct style to name them like that. And again, I think this ought to be in the developers reference, or the library packaging guide, or what ever best practices and recommendations guide is fit. But heh, it's only me. -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
