Apparently, other people are confused as well:
http://www.xent.com/FoRK-archive/august97/0431.html
FWIW, google has ~30,000 results for -eable, and ~8,000 results for
-able. A couple other software projects (notably Apache Jakarta)
use -eable.
My preference would be for -eable, but that's just on the basis of
"it looks right", which is hardly authoritative.
Cheers,
Neil
