My problem is that it doesn't seem like "paying attention" is
sufficient. If I don't put the relevant sub-library name/versions
into libgwrap-glib's soname, then which of the other approaches would
you favor, the configure-time integer soname lookup table, the hybrid
name and table approach where you would have a name of libgwrap-glib-1
and the soname would be chosen from the sub-lib-collection lookup
table, the placement of the sub-lib names/versions into
libgwrap-glib's name, or something else?
Don't forget the complication that gwrap (and I presume other libs)
needs to be able to build safely against guile 1.3.4, 1.4, or 1.6, and
*should* be able to build against either glib 1.2 or 2.0.
