Aside from the "fltk" library, there are also the following libraries
- "fltk_forms" for the XForms compatibility classes
- "fltk_forms" for the XForms compatibility classes (deprecated)
- "fltk_gl" for the OpenGL and GLUT classes
- "fltk_images" for the image file classes, Fl_Help_Dialog widget, and system icon support
- "fltk_cairo" for optional integrated Cairo support.

The separate library \p fltk_cairo will likely be removed in FLTK 1.4.0;
this is work in progress.
