We really should not be putting in /usr/lib binary libraries, they should go in their own directory tree in /opt.

Thanks,
Diego

Diego, how about using the term "pre-compiled library" instead of "binary library"? The latter is also true for any lib which got compiled the usual way through portage.

Quite true :) Sorry I'm just looking at so many things that I didn't think enough about it.
