[OTR-dev] 4.0.0-rc3 ready to roll. Please try it out!

[Greg Troxel]

In pkgsrc, libotr is simply libotr.

Two questions:

  will just libotr.pc be installed, but with the new versions?  If so, I
  don't see any reason to call this libotr5, but rather just libotr.

  Is there any reason to have both the old version and the new version
  simultaneously packaged?  It seems the only real user of libotr is
  pidgin-otr, and hopefully
    a) the new library is API-compatible, so callers of the old lib can
       be just recompiled, and
    b) the new library can interoperate with the old library (at the old
       version), so that pidgin users with new bits can still talk to
       users with the old bits

Are those assumptions correct?
