 In addition to libpixman-1.so libXfont.so has the same problem,
 its major version changed from 1 to 2 between 5.0 and 5.1, and
 so some compatability mechanism is needed to allow 5.0 binaries
 that reference this library to continue running on a 5.1 system.
 
 After a cursory search of the two systems, those are the only two
 libraries I detected that had changes in major version, so it
 seems as if those two are all that are currently needed.
