Of course, because of the limitations of the package tools, you won't
be able to go long without replacing _all_ of your packages.  The
package tools don't know the difference between ELF and a.out packages
and, consequently, think that libraries from a.out packages satisfy
dependencies when building or installing new ELF ones...
