Hi!

After Alistair's recent change to make ELF PLISTs default, some
programs have problems in the installation phase. In particular, I
think of devel/xdelta (and some others) where the problem lies in the
fact that they install a library 'libfoo.so.1.2.3', and libtool only
generates symlinks for 'libfoo.so.1' and 'libfoo.so'.

What is the proper target to fix -- the PLISTs (removing the
'libfoo.so.1.2' entries) or libtool (making it create the
'libfoo.so.1.2' symlinks)?

Bye,
 Thomas
