I don't remember any discussion ... Anyway, my thoughts on that subject 
is that
if we do this, we we should come up with a real naming convention, ie., 
a set
of trivial mappings between directory names/library names/symbol names etc.

We should then make all directories and .pc.in files follow it. For 
compatibility
reasons we can't make the symbol names follow it, and also we can't 
change the
names of .so files, but we can use the naming convention for new code.

Of course it is not important what the convention is, just that there is 
a convention.
