+/*  Use prefixed names for the symbols from stb_image as it is a very commonly embedded library.
+    Including vanilla stb_image symbols causes duplicate symbol problems if assimp is linked
+    statically together with another library or executable that also embeds stb_image.
+
+    Symbols are not prefixed if using Hunter because in such case there exists a single true
+    stb_image library on the system that is used by assimp and can be used by all the other
+    libraries and executables.
+
+    The list can be regenerated using the following:
+
+    cat <path/to/stb/stb_image.h> | fgrep STBIDEF | fgrep '(' | sed -E 's/\*|\(.+//g' | \
+        awk '{print "#define " $(NF) " assimp_" $(NF) }' | sort | uniq"
