The YAZ toolkit is used by the GSDL receptionist when acting as a z39.50 client. Two files are linked against: client/yaz_client.o, which was modified from Index Data's sample client code, and lib/libyaz.a, which contains all the z39.50 and MARC formatting code. There is probably a lot of stuff in this library that does not need to be there for our purposes, but for now it is, merely wasting some disk space and some compile-time CPU.
