Right, right - we're getting a bit off from my request. Frankly, I
don't care what you call the libraries, but if you're going to include
the string "xfc" (without the 'e' at the end), it would be nice if it
could be "XFC" instead. so, libXFCcore, or whatever. That was the only
point I was trying to make; I don't really care about the -core vs. -ui
distinction.
