the convention on windows is not to include the "lib" prefix, however there are exceptions. notably, the windows svn client, and trillian, my irc client. centralizing the logic of loading libraries so it Just Works on any platform makes sense to me. this should follow for other conventions on other platforms, as well. i dunno what macOS and os2 do. and then i could stop patching runtime libraries and move on to something more exciting :) > leo ~jerry
