zfsonlinux/spl — Issue #53: name conflict with the SPL programming language

The `libspl.a` file provided by the Solaris Porting Layer conflicts with the spl-dev package that is already in Debian and Ubuntu:

* http://packages.debian.org/file:libspl.a
* http://packages.ubuntu.com/file:libspl.a

In pkg-spl, this causes a package conflict that requires a lint override.

Consider renaming libspl to libzspl so that it does not conflict with any other software that is already in regular distribution.
