11.8: I want to release my library to the GNO community. Is there anythingin particular that I should do?

    A#11.8:	Here's a checklist:

- Any symbols which should not be available to the user should
  have their private flag set.  In C, this corresponds to using
  the "static" storage class specifier whenever possible.

- Ensure your library is compatible with ORCA/C's large memory
  model.

- Write documentation, preferably one or more manual pages, for
  any exported symbols.  If your library uses configuration files,
  write manual pages for those too (they belong in chapter 5).

- Specify in the manual pages any dependency on non-standard
  libraries.  Specify dependencies for all header files, whether
  standard or not.

- Consider including your source code with your library.  This
  allows your contribution to survive even if your hard drive
  crashes, your backups are destroyed, or you leave the GNO
  community.
