There is 3.0 MBs of stuff in /usr/shlib. Theses are all libraries:
libNeXT_s.C.shlib*   libmusic_s.A.shlib*  libsys_s.B.shlib*
libdsp_s.A.shlib*    libni_s.A.shlib*
Question is do I need these for day to day work. This would be using all the
application programs and sometimes installing stuff and doing a "make" etc.
What are these libraries used for ?  I'd love to make some extra space.
