Log:
The renaming debate gets more and more worse and I dislike it really how Jim
and Kens opinions get silently ignored.... Hmmm... but ok, I've done my
technical work by preparing both the renaming scripts and the HIDE-remove-path
for Roy, so I've done my part (for which no one has asked me to do it ;-). The
remaining decisions and commits are not my job... I hate political
discussions, so I'm now concentrating on more useful stuff IMHO: Working
on the DSO-support for SVR4-platforms.

+ - Ken: 'lazy consensus' needs to be defined.
+ - Ralf: At least the following points should be added:
+ 1. A statement that really everyone has the equal right to veto
+ in general and that only the one can rescind a veto who has
+ done it originally.
+ 2. The statements that although a veto can be done at any point
+ if it gets done more then approximately two weeks after some
+ stuff already went in or was changed, the guy who vetoes
+ really _HAS_ to provide a reasonable alternative solution
+ idea _AND_ at least someone (not really the guy who vetoes)
+ who wants to volunteer for this alternative solution. Or
+ the veto will not make much sense IMHO at this stage and
+ always just creates flamewars! I think only this way it's

- - manual editing the source tree for the remaining

- 1. change exported module structure symbols from

- the prefix in rename.cf) and adjust/simplify src/Configure,
- mod_so.c accordingly etc. These APM_ symbols were commented
- in rename.cf for Roys step.
- [Roy doesn't think this step is necessary]
- 2. change the prelinked_modules and preloaded_modules symbols
- to APX_ variants manually and adjust src/Configure accordingly.
- These APX_ symbols were commented in rename.cf for Roys step
- because these cannot be done automatically.
