--- Comment #6 from Christopher Schultz <ch...@christopherschultz.net> ---
Maybe this is a Tomcat packaging issue and less of a libtcnative issue?

The confusion comes from the fact that "bin" usually means native-binary and
lib usually means .jar files (for Java applications). So where do you put a
native binary library? I think reasonable people can disagree about this.

tcnative's configure/make/make install should not deviate from native toolchain
standards.

But Tomcat can package the .so/.dll/.dylib wherever it wants.

If we behave differently on Windows-vs-*NIX, then documentation is more
complicated, confusing, etc. Tomcat ships with native .dll files for Windows
but not .so/.dylib for other OSs.

Is this just a request to make sure that each user is comfortable in their own
environment? It seems like choosing "bin" means that Windows-partisans "win"
and choosing "lib" means that UNIX-partisans "win". Can/should we support
either/or? Or do we have to pick one location to rule them all?
