+Hi, Tomi.\r
+\r
+But isn't it a local library that is only used by Notmuch at compile\r
+time?  It isn't installed anywhere by "make install", right?  So, it\r
+would be easy to change the name, no?  But maybe I'm missing something.\r

+\r
+I checked Homebrew and MacPorts, and they don't do anything (at least\r
+not in their respective Notmuch packages; it's still possible they do\r
+something globally that I don't know about).\r
+\r
+I checked pkgsrc, and they rename the library to libmyutil.a.\r
