Right, but thess libraries can't be used by other packages.... They're
only there to reduce the amount of duplicated code between the
hundreds of utilities that are included in the package. I don't know
of any packages that link to these libraries, and no header files are
installed by netpbm, so I don't know how you could get the prototypes
for the functions in the libraries anyways... And imagemagick provides
libraries, but its in media-gfx...

I realize this is really picky, but I think there should be
consistency within the tree :)
