303 install-headers and uninstall-headers, respectively, so users may
304 choose to install only the shared libraries. I'm not sure about
305 the uninstall one yet -- maybe it should check whether or not
306 the static libraries are installed and not remove the header files
307 if they are

416 examples/rlfe.c
417 - rlfe can perform filename completion for relative pathnames in the
