Since the title of this thread is "Mac OS X static library names"  
it's worth noting that Mac OS X is UNIX, and Mac OS X really does  
care about getting this right, and, in my experience, does. This is  
one of the reasons that static linking is deprecated on Mac OS X- the  
OS vendor goes to great lengths to assure that dynamic library  
upgrades are backwards compatible for that OS version.
