The binary compatible library has to be called 'pano12' (or 
'libpano12' on linux) as that is what PTStitcher is looking for.

Daniel is suggesting taking advantage of a mistake (I made) in the 
existing naming scheme - The current CVS module is called libpano, 
but it should have been called 'libpano12'.

So if a new CVS module, called 'libpano12', is created for the 
binary compatible code, this would build a library with the same 
name.

We can then keep the existing 'libpano' CVS module, and change the 
library name to match the CVS name.

So the CVS layout would look like this:

  libpano CVS: new library called PANO.DLL, for use with PTmender

  libpano12 CVS: old library called PANO12.DLL, for use with PTStitcher

Hope that makes sense, I think it does.
