Well i've looked at them, and i can't find the difference, except for,
husky did implement, ffind and other stuff, there makes the stuff unaviable
to compile agianst.

I mean i can't compile squish agianst smapi because some of the structures
whitch is in maxlib is also in smapi/huskylib :(

Nopes, i remember sometime timEd could be compiled thru smapi, but i don't
know if that option is there any longer.

My last argument, might be that..
