FLA_, Fast Light Abstraction (layer) sounds OK to me.

I am always a proponent of dynamic linking. But we must provide a wy as well
to create a monolithic app. It should always be possible to link a subste of
static libraries and have a self contained application.
I mentioned it before: it would really be nice to be able to use two
rendering HAL's at once. It would allow FLTK rendering into OpenGL and
ActiveX contexts at the same time as rendering onto the screen. I also used
this once to rende into an external framebuffer, but I can understand that
that is a quite rare application (but wonderful to have). Or just imagine
the same binaries running under X11 and SDL without any interaction from the
user....
