>(in /usr/lib and /lib) to suggest for removal.  Something to consider...

	just checking:
	- normal binaries (like /usr/bin/vi, for instance) will link against
	  /usr/lib/libc.so, not /lib/libc.so.
	- only those binaries in / partition (/sbin/ping) will link against
	  /lib/libc.so, not /usr/lib/libc.so.
	am i correct?

	even if /usr/lib/libc.so is a symlink, i think the above is an
	important point.  think of shlib major bump (in libtermcap or whatever)
	and old binaries in /usr/pkg/bin.
