Dunno.  Normally .so files (particularly libraries) are installed 
executable, aren't they?  My question was alluding to if it is treated

something obvious.

Okay will do that in the future. :)

The reason for using bug-gnu-utils is that I didn't know how to 
subscribe to bug-gettext... is it only for the maintainers?
