Xv client library: shared version?

[Juliusz Chroboczek]

Dear Mark,

There has been some discussion recently on the Debian list devoted to
maintaining X (see CC) about the lack of a shared version of the Xv
library.  There would appear to be an opinion that shared versions of
the libraries should be included.

Any chance you could drop a note to the list about the rationale for
not including the shared library in the default XFree86 build, and
whether you think there may be any issues with including such a
library in the Debian version?

Thanks,

                                        Juliusz
