+The problem, of course, is that you may not know what mix of languages those

What if we wanted to use \c{libhello} in our own project? While the installed
version is always an option, it may not be convenient when we develop our code.

well with various versions of \c{libhello} (and maybe even with that heinous

+In fact, on a properly setup GNU/Linux machine (that automatically uses

+$ bpkg test libhello hello
