i would like to see a naming convention that is valid on all these platforms and where i can have files live side by side on a network share. (e.g. .so is bad because i cannot distinguish between linux/i386, linux/ppc, linux/x86_64 and eventually osx/fat.
hi all
let me drop my two cents here: i would like to emphasize IOhannes' point here, since i have been a few times in a situation with a group of people using different platforms, where a naming convention respecting platform and architecture would have been helpful. i mean, there is a real practical use in finding such a convention, whereas there seem to be only theoretical reasons for keeping the existing suffixes.
