Yes, likely from me.  The problem is that Interix *requires* it (in the vein
of old SunOS and other earlier shlib implementations).

Right, except that Linux will still *execute* the libraries fine -- thus
allowing software authors to get lazy.  8-)

: bzip2-1.0.2	libbz2.so.0.0
: libiconv-1.9.1nb1	libcharset.so.1.0
: libiconv-1.9.1nb1	libiconv.so.4.0

: tiff-3.6.1	libtiff.so.3.6
: tiff-3.6.1nb1	libtiff.so.3.6
: zlib-1.2.1	libz.so.1.2

These were fixed.

: rsaref-2.0p3	librsaref.so.3.0

I plan to fix them as I find them.  I have a script checking for me while I
