[csw-maintainers] Shared library placement proposal

Ok, fair enough.

I hereby suggest that instead of spending another entire week on this
nit, that we simply push forward with language that does not define
the direction of the symlink.

The language used should allow the maintainer at his/her discretion to
symlink in either direction without running astray of the policy.  The
enforcement piece should centre only on making -L/opt/csw/lib work in
a manner consistent with packages built with --prefix=/opt/csw.

Good?

Thanks
