Not a big issue, but the above two lines are unnecessary, and can be
omitted. I'd rather than the name of the lib *not* be explicitly called
out, to prevent the temptation of giving the library a different name to
the name of the directory it is in.

Given that this doesn't depend on anything apart from the core libs,
I think it should be placed earlier in the list, where the majority of
the libs are in alphabetical order. [Yes, I should have put a comment
just before the "acl" lib entry calling out the fact that it was meant
to be an alphabetical list - I forgot, sorry! :-)]
