Poor you ;)

Scons doesn't know about it. Telling it about sonames is a mess... Also
if your upstream doesn;t care about sonames (otherwise they would have
stumbled upon this issue) you might want to teach them about sonames and
that yo need to be able to rely on them.

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gpsd.git/tree/SConstruct is a big mess
of example on how you coudl do it, search for the VersionedSharedLibrary
function...

Cheers,

Bernd
