92 Now that I look at this, I think that having full path to util/libutil.a
\r
93 should be used (everywhere) and if there is need to use *system-provided*
\r
94 libutil, then -lutil is to be added to the command line...

\r
97 named as such, and perhaps better naming should have been used, but (*)

\r
104 is any) to come with other ideas...
