do not know whether to also link with Av1 or Av2. In fact, if Av1 and Av2 have 
any changes in API, it might not even link.

	Coin-All might do it, if X and Y are both in Coin-All. After that,
I don't have any good off-the-cuff solutions.

	This has been debated back and forth, and is tied to some extent to the
question of releases.  Someone from the TLC may be able to shed more light on
the issue.
