We don't seem to have a standard for prefixing library port names
with
"lib" or not in MacPorts. Some do (libpng, libsdl), some don't (tiff,
jpeg).
This is generally dictated by how upstream names the distfile, as the
default distname is ${name}-${version}.
True. I mean, it's just a one-liner for the port author to override
this and name the port whatever he wants, but it could at least
explain why some of the port names are what they are.
