I think he has understood what dependency means, what SONAME is used for
and that you can install several versions of the same shared object
without a problem. One thing he might not have considered is that pkgsrc
doesn't really work this way. AFAIK it cannot really handle dependencies
across different versions of installed packages. That's the problem; you
think about pkgsrc dependencies, he thinks about executable<->library
dependencies.
