Katherine, where did you find this?  If it came with that name,
it did not originate directly from me.  That's not necessarily a
big deal, but I think if someone wants to start a new naming
convention, they should first address their concerns to the MiNT
list.  Otherwise we get unnecessary confusion.  For the moment,
I am still following the conventions outlined in the MiNTlib
FAQ. 

Speaking of which, I spent an hour or so yesterday, updating the
most glaringly obsolete bits in the MiNTlib FAQ; I will post
that to my ftp site later today.

Also, unless there are objections, as of PL48 I will change the
naming convention to something like: c.a, c16.a, bc.a, ... ,
bc16020.a.  This appears necessary because people have to change
the names of the lib to make it work with newer gcc.  If I am
missing something, advice is welcome.
