Currently the top module name I used for installation purposes was
'xfc'. In cvs it could be libxfc or libxfc4 - but - there wont actually
be a libxfc or libxfc4 library. Having a module called libxfc4 with
libxfccore4 and libxfcui4 submodules seems a bit odd. The only modules
that I could find that do it are libxml2/libltdl, and libxslt/libexslt
and libxslt/libxslt in the GNOME CVS. A long time ago the two libraries
where one, called libinti. When I wrote a C++ wrapper for GConf I split
the libraries up because the wrapper for GConf only needed to use glib,
not gtk+. It also meant that add-on libraries could be written that only
use the GLib wrapper. libxfccore-4.3 is a very small at 220 kbytes,
whereas libxfcui-4.3 is 2.3 megabytes. I could always recombine the
libraries into one: libxfc4 or libxfcui4.
