Hi Qi, Thomas,

I see Thomas mentioned 'LIBRTE_' is redundant but not sure about renaming the 
existing compile time flag without notice.

The flag is to be used for users, it is not internal, and it may be already used 
in some scripts and automation etc, this rename can break them.

'LIBRTE_' is already used commonly, I think all library flags has it, do we 
really need to drop it from this current one? Even if we drop it, what about 
keeping it as alias for backward compatibility?

Yes I did not ask for removing now :)
Let's keep old name as alias and start using the new name
(if you agree with the new name without LIBRTE_).
