However, there are parts of it that would be very nice to have available to user programs.. in particular the event library (see: "nroff -man /usr/src/contrib/bind/lib/isc/eventlib.mdoc" ) I would like to make this stuff available somehow as a library in /usr/lib. Would anyone violently object? And what would be the best approach? Since some of libbind is already part of libc, we proabably don't want to install all of libbind .. perhaps we could just install the event library and call it libevent ?
