Hi Matt,

I have given versioned soname's to libevms and libdlist. I just made up 
version 1.0 for dlist, since it should never change in an incompatible way. 
libevms will use the current EVMS major number in its soname, unless we can 
think of a better method in the future.

Thanks again for all the libtool work. I think for the time being, though, 
that it's a bit much to add. I think once we get our 1.0 release out this 
spring, I will revisit the libtool/automake setup as a post-1.0 addition. For 
now we are just using -soname option to the linker to get the appropriate 
versions set in the shared libraries.

Also, is it necessary to include versioned sonames for the plugin libraries? 
As I've mentioned before, no executables should be linking against these 
libraries - they are just meant to be loaded directly by the core engine. I 
can add versions if necessary - I don't think it will break anything - but it 
is not set up that way at the moment.

-Kevin
