Yes, I saw that and I understand how hostxfer calls an installer at notify
and reset time, however, I was imagining there was something special about a
plain shared library that is an ExgLib such that some other mechanism
(besides an app calling SysLibInstall) would recognize it at install time
and invoke the installer.  Now I see there is nothing special about
ExgLibs -- and they must be installed just like any other lib, via
SysLibInstall.  So I guess there's no way to have it automatically install
when you drop the prc on the emulator or beam it to another user?  My ExgLib
"application" will not have a GUI or app icon that can be launched, and I
don't think you get a syncNotify in those cases.
Sure you can... make it a hidden application by setting the "hide" flag in your PRC header. It won't show up in the launcher, but should still get reset and install notifications.
