 Yes, I was concerned about the possible conflict with the existing libdns
 (it's a BIND9 library, right?).

 But at the same time, this type of conflict can generally happen, and it
 doesn't make sense to modify the library name for every such conflict as
 we find it.  Doesn't it make more sense to avoid the conflict at the
 package name level (such as "bind10") and by specifying specific path to
 the library including the package name?  For example, we can use rpath
 when it's available.

 I think I like the name of libdns++ though:-)
