Agreed. Hyphens in libnames don't look pleasing to my eye (fwiw),
libfossilscm (cc ... -lfossilscm ...) might be next best to
disambiguate from potential collision w/ another libfossil, though it
too is pretty ugly looking.

Brief search yields https://github.com/paulfitz/libfossil as second
hit (after this very discussion). I also searched for libfsl, which
appears to be claimed, I didn't look into what that project is.
