libnm-client-aux-extern

libnm-client-aux-extern is a static library that:

• uses the public parts of "libnm"
• that can also be statically linked into other users of libnm.

Basically, it is a static library with utility functions that extends libnm.

That means:

• you can use it everywhere where you dynamically link with libnm.

Also, since libnm-client-aux-extern itself only uses public (stable) API of libnm, you theoretically can copy the sources into your own source tree.

This makes it very similar in purpose to ../libnmc-base/. The difference might be that this one is smaller and that you could easier copy+paste this to a libnm application outside this source tree.
