The ITL release process is far from perfect and far from satisfactory.
During the creation of the FreeBSD port for libitl, several things were
noted.

1) When the distribution file is uncompressed, it must uncompress to
   libitl-${VERSION} and not itl-libs.


My bad - it currently uncompresses to itl/lib-$(VERSION).  I'll take
care of this for next releases.


2) When announced, libitl should be announced as a seperate package than
   itools.


That is already the case.


3) The library naming scheme is incorrect. libitl-${VERSION}.so is not a
   standard naming convention and will create conistency issues with
   many systems for future ITL software.


Agreed. The '-$(VERSION)' should not be there. I'll leave this for Thamer.

The standard is more along the lines of: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/developers-handbook/policies-shlib.html
