Is -lcfdTools deprecated?

Hi,
I am trying to get old OpenFOAM code (OpenFOAM 1.1) running with OpenFOAM 4.0.

When compiling, I get the following message:

Code:

forms/linux64GccDPInt32Opt/lib \
    -lcfdTools -ldynamicMesh -lmeshTools  -lOpenFOAM -ldl  \
     -lm -o fwd1
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcfdTools
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

The latest thread I could find relating to this problem is this (OpenFOAM 2.3 is used):
http://www.cfd-online.com/Forums/ope...t-profile.html

Is lcfdTools deprecated in OpenFOAM 4.0 or is it named differently?
If so, which library should I use instead?
Where can I look up available libraries and their documentation?

Thanks for your help!

I found this:

http://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Ho...versions_to_13

It says replace -lcfdTools with -lfiniteVolume.
This seems to solve my problem.
