This does raise a question though... should we be concerned about module-name clashes for libraries which should be used "one or the other"?

You never know if someone wants to link in both libraries, so I would say yes, you should be concerned.


Sdl, Glut, Qt, Gtk, Xml... it's only cryptic at first, and what would you really use which is less cryptic? I can understand the desire to have a library name which at least gives a hint of it's utility, but this isn't possible in the general case without getting some cumbersome names!

Good point. So, I guess I'm saying try hard for a short intuitive name first, but yes, sometimes it's not possible.
