Should I post a package of these libraries for use with Opera in BL3?

Installing the BL3 icewm package provides all the needed X libraries.
Please _do_ put together a package of needed libs for running Opera in
BL3, along with instructions for installing it. One thing BL3 will
definitely need in order to be appealing to many these days is a
full-fledged graphical browser. Thanks for puzzling out how to run one.

I set this up without symlinks for the libraries, just used the actual
library with the name of what was the symlink (libc.so.6 rather than
something with 2.2.25 in it). Is this acceptable? I don't know how to
make packages with scripts using busybox pkg, I just used tar, and it came
out that way.

http://keesan.freeshell.org/html/bl/operalib.tgz
contains static ldconfig and the 2.2.5 libraries needed by Opera.
Add icewm first to provide the X libraries needed by Opera.
Unpack my file and the QT static Opera .tar.gz on /
To run opera startx then cd /opera*, opera. See instructions for use in
http://keesan.freeshell.org/blfiles
including an rxvt menu, and a modified inittab that boots directly to X with rxvt.

These libraries are not symlinks (the libc 2.2.5 so file is named libc.so.6) and installing regular glibc 2.2.5 or a later glibc will overwrite them.
