I don't see an easy way - you could teach the automatic shlib handling
the number systems used for each but then you've got to pass it the
-version-info parameters.

For example the following two libraries were created using the NetBSD
and Linux/Solaris methods with the libtool -version-info argument of
2:0:1.

	liblnb.so -> liblnb.so.2.0
	liblnb.so.2 -> liblnb.so.2.0
	liblnb.so.2.0

	liblsl.so -> liblsl.so.1.1.0
	liblsl.so.1 -> liblsl.so.1.1.0
	liblsl.so.1.1.0
