Values could be things like "libxslt", "libpng", etc..
Am I right in understanding this as informational field only ?
Yes. The primary consumers will be OS packagers, who will map them onto
their own package names. As with other metadata they care about, we
hope that the packagers will suggest packages to make these names
"uniform" acrrss Python distributions. I imagine there will be some
jockeying among them to find the "common" name for such things, which
they will then need to map.
How about putting there what we (distro maintainers) can pass to
ctypes.util.find_library()?
How cross platform is that?
