One other problem is that the hader definition and implementation are located on the same place. It is the same as if /usr/lib and /usr/include was located in the same place.

I now see why it applies to libraries, but don't see why it's a benefit for standalone programs (where multiple versions can't be installed via dpkg simultaneously anyway, and where the .jars aren't intended for external use). I suppose it's a little neater. Thanks, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
