why are shared libs chmod +x?

[Christian Schwarz <schwarz@monet.m.isar.de>]

Hi!

Can someone tell me why shared libs should be installed executable?
(Actually, Christoph Lameter wants to know this, cf. #7129, but since I
don't know this either I'll redirect the question to this list.)

This is current policy and I want to add a small note to the paragraph
stating the reasons for this.


Thanks,

Chris
