Yes, it might be better to have a  "sr_" prefix.
Right now in ser we have for some (libser_cds, libser_presence) and
 no prefix for others (libbinrpc).

Normally they will be installed in their own dir (e.g. /usr/lib/sr and the 
modules in /usr/lib/sr/modules), but having a separate prefix is even safer.

BTW: to quickly create a library just copy the Makefile from lib/print/
 and change the name in it, and add your .c and .h files.

To use a library from a module, just add to the module's Makefile:

SERLIBPATH=../../lib
# ser libraries, in the format path/shortname , where shortname is
# what will be used for -l
SER_LIBS=$(SERLIBPATH)/print/print

Compiling the module will re-compile the library automatically if needed
(e.g. some change in it). make install will also re-link the module
 (needed to change the rpath).
