13 Since the caps are used for splitting the two words, an extra dash would be
14 needed instead of the caps. Concatenating the two makes it hard to read and personally, it would be hard for me to type.

16 It would have been nice if the official distribution had a name gentoo could
17 adopt, but looking at ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firebird/nightly/latest-trunk/
18 one can see:
19
20 Firebird-mac.dmg.gz
21 MozillaFirebird-i686-pc-linux-gnu.tar.gz
22 MozillaFirebird-win32.zip
23
24 So we're back where we started. They have both "firebird" and "mozilla
25 firebird".
