Library name collision
----------------------
Libasr is a unique library name on Linux as far as I know and there is no
problem installing it.

LibreSSL contains library names libcrypto and libssl which collide with
the identical names in OpenSSL on most Linux systems.

Can the libcrypto and libssl library names in LibreSSL be changed?

Maybe they can change to liblibrecrypto and liblibressl?

LibreSSL also uses library libtls.
Is libtls unique in Linux?

If not maybe it can change to liblibretls?

Changing the library names allows LibreSSL and OpenSSL to exist
side by side on any Linux system.
