Nope, sorry.  You still have to know what you're doing with DSOs and
supporting an ABI. ;-)  Every general-purpose installed DSO should have an
explicit SONAME, which you pass with the -Wl,-soname=foobar option.
The maintainer of the package needs to grok what this means and what
constitute ABI changes that mandate changing the SONAME.


Thanks,
