Oh sure. That's one interpretation.
However given the amount of hoopla that Cygnus tried to attach to the
initial roll-out of this library, and given that the early releases of
libbfd actually broke a lot more things that they ever benefitted, I
personally was always more inclined towards the belief that `BFD'
actually stood for `Big F***ing Deal', as in ``Who gives a damn?''
