Yes, that was the exact reason.

Well, consider this: when you link to a library, you use -lfoo and not
-llibfoo. I'm not against renaming the directory in which the headers
are installed, but in that case we should rename our libdvd* forks, too.
Maybe call them libdvd{read,nav}2 ?

PS. I think this discussion should be moved to dvdnav-discuss list.

There should be a science of discontent. People need hard times and
oppression to develop psychic muscles.
