10 Right, but thess libraries can't be used by other packages.... They're
11 only there to reduce the amount of duplicated code between the
12 hundreds of utilities that are included in the package. I don't know
13 of any packages that link to these libraries, and no header files are
14 installed by netpbm, so I don't know how you could get the prototypes
15 for the functions in the libraries anyways... And imagemagick provides
16 libraries, but its in media-gfx...

18 I realize this is really picky, but I think there should be
19 consistency within the tree :)
