Does linux not deal with sonames or library names that contain a dot
in the version number? My logic here is mostly have libfoo.so.MAJ.MIN
be the "versioned" library name, which would always get compiled and
installed, and libfoo.so be a symlink. Are there any systems where
this will cause breakage?
Linux makes the assumption that a program compiled with
libfoo.so.MAJ.MIN will also work with libfoo.so.MAJ.MIN+1. I believe
SunOS and Solaris make similar assumptions.
That is, if you're going to make any changes to the binary interface,
you must bump the major version number.
