[csw-maintainers] commentary on shared library naming proposal

[Maciej (Matchek) Blizinski]

There's an issue that the proposal hasn't addressed so far:

Package names for two packages with the same soname.

One example could be a Sun compiler and GCC versions of a C++ library.
 Both compilations will result in the same soname.  Should we try to
achieve a standard naming technique for these?  For example:

CSWlibfoo1 for the Sun one
CSWlibfoo1-gcc for the GCC one

Or, more generally, how should the new package differentiate from the
previous one - by adding a prefix, or a postfix?  Should the
pre/postfix have a certain format, such as: "only [a-z], up to 3
chars", etc?

Thoughts?
