"a" is not theoretical - we know there are:
elfdump -y /usr/openwin/bin/xlock | grep libcmd
[23] DBL [9] libcmd.so.1 defcntl
[55] DBL [9] libcmd.so.1 defread
[76] DBL [9] libcmd.so.1 defopen
The -lcmd will be dropped from the X makefiles sometime after this case
integrates. (No sooner than 2 Nevada builds later, since X build n
is build on WOS build n-2, and probably a little later than that to
allow X developers to keep building & testing X even if they haven't
upgraded to the absolute latest WOS build yet.)
