libtidy

Is there really such a thing as libtidy or is this just some cruel
hoax? Please don't point me to the tidy stuff in the docs, or to the
tidy page at sourceforge, nothing there points to anything called
"libtidy." I can download source and binaries for the tidy executable,
and there's a libtidy.a, but there's no such thing as libtidy really,
is there?

I have ran into the exact same problem on my mac.
The command line executable works fine, but I found no library after a
long search.
I really wanted to be able to access the PECL Tidy library but it
requires libtidy.
I just kind of went whatever after a while and gave up trying to find
it.

Well, if you download and compile (and install) from CVS, you wind up
with a binary in /usr/local/bin (which is fine) and some header files
in /usr/local/include/tidy, and libtidy.a (which is a static library)
in /usr/local/lib. But PEAR doesn't recognize this as a library, so I
dunno ...
