Right now, the correct location for svgalib is in media-libs. "media" is our |
| 18 |
generic term to classify things that are audio-video or "multimedia" related, |
| 19 |
since there are so many things that have both audio and video components. You |
| 20 |
don't need to handle a media format to be in media-libs. |
