Great work.  This caught a bug in xorg-x11 packaging that's been there
forever.

The libFS.so and libGLw.so libs were previously static only, and when
the shared versions were added in 6.7.0, the .so links were
inadvertently left from the file list and nobody ever noticed.  ;o)

Of course apps using these libs would have just fallen back to the
static libs instead, so minor problem overall, but nice to know such
issues will be detected automatically by rpm in the future.

Thanks.
