What it means is that, when you package a shared library project in Kylix,
the default name given to the compiled library package consists of the
prefix 'lib' followed by the soname. The compiler directive {$SOPREFIX ''}
causes an empty string to replace 'lib'. That's all.

It was off-topic for the IBDI list and it's off-topic here, too, unless we
have recently become a support list for Kylix newbies who can't be bothered
reading the manual.
