 Why is the library numbered as .so.2.0.0, rather than as `.so.1.2.0'?

 I would like to rename it, to `.so.1.2.0', and make the snapshot be
 `.so.1.3.1'.  Is there a way to do that without causing lots of
 problems?

 It would be good to have the library bear the actual version number,
 and to make it possible for both to coexist.
