I know. I've looked at the anon CVS, such as it is.

Except that Parrot is written assuming its there, which
means that Parrot itself needs to be linked against it. If
we're being embedded, we might clash with the main
program's
own string library, which shoots down the entire project. I
would look at this more like glib - it's a utility library,
but it's still prefixed because who knows what else the
final executable will be linked against.
