The soname for libgnat and libgnarl are currently libgnat-4.0.so and
libgnarl-4.0.so, respectively. Starting with 4.1, I suggest using a naming
scheme that is more in line with Unix tradition and standards, i.e.
libgnat.so.4.1 and libgnarl.so.4.1. The minor version number should
be part of the file name, but not of the soname, e.g. libgnat.so.4.1.1,
libgnarl.so.4.1.1 (when 4.1.1 is released). On an installed system, we
would thus have:
/usr/lib/libgnat.so.4.1.0 (the shared library)
/usr/lib/libgnat.so.4.1 -> libgnat.so.4.1.0 (symlink used at run time)
/usr/lib/libgnat.so -> libgnat.so.4.1.0 (symlink used at link time)
