I don't agree with your point of view. The so called "older" version of
extlib is only "older" because before it was named "stew". And one day,
the upstream decided to recall it extlib. I see no reason to change the
name of extlib because one guy thinks it was a prettier name.

It is a personnal point of view, but i keep considering that extlib is
"tm" to sf library ( and not the other one ).
