>Description:
	There are two versions of libkvm. One is called libkvm and the other
	is called libkvm.old. According to the Makefile in /usr/src/lib
	libkvm.old is only used on pmax and i386. The same Makefile says
	that this solution is "temporary". My definition of "temporary"
	doesn't include 3.5 years (it has been "temporary" since 1996/03/19).

	It looks like everyone who knew why it is like this have forgotten
	why we have two libkvm and what needs to be done to remove the old
	one. In the future I suggest that people who do "temporary" solutions
	send a pr so that the problem is not forgotten.
>How-To-Repeat:
	ls -d /usr/src/lib/libkvm*
>Fix:
	cd /usr/src/lib ; vi Makefile ; cvs rm -Rf libkvm.old
	See what breaks, fix it. Be happy.
