I am fully aware of that, as I am one of the authors of the
Tuebingen version. The naming clash is most unfortunate,
indeed.

I will have a look at Debunnes library, and if possible will
also package it. However I would package it under a
different name, replacing the library with a new
one with a different api is not really an option, I agree
with Artur here.

Suggestions for a new name are welcome,
qglviewer-debunne seems a little overdone :)

As soon as I have some time on my hands I will see to it
(end of next week I hope)
