I can't see any real impediments -- the clients have a fixed set of
symbols they need and there isn't any reason we can't shuffle the actual
files containing them around.

yeah, the library name 'Xss' is far from ideal.

I guess I don't really care what we call the modules for
MIT-SCREEN-SAVER; they aren't used enough to be that big a deal.

We could also consider migrating the library name from libXss to
libXScreenSaver, but I can't see a lot of value in that as we'll have to
retain the Xss name forever.
