On Debian that is correct. Also, under the existing cygwin build, libraries
are built with that name, i.e. /usr/lib/libfftw3.la. This is because the api
changed with release 3, so upstream built that feature in to the makefile.
If I name the package fftw3, it will be consistent with the library name, but
inconsistent with the upstream source file name (fftw-3.0.1.tar.gz). As it is,
(fftw) it is inconsistent with the library names. So which correspondence is
more important to maintain: consistency with the library names, or consistency
with the upstream source file name?
