This may not be relevant in this exact case, but versioned symbols solve
only the most obvious problems of two versions of a shared library
living in the same address space

If (for example) evo happens to allocate some gnutls13 data structrure
and passes it to gnutls12 through some libsoup interface, then it can
still blow up, and versioned symbols do not help. If the libsoup API
never passes gnutls data structures between evo and libsoup, then evo
should be safe.
