As I've asked you many times in the past, I cannot understand your
desires from your _once_ sentance responces.  This is the biggest thing
that makes it almost impossible for me to work with you.

Why can't you say something like:

    PAM modules used to not be versioned, however starting in -CURRENT
    with OpenPAM they are now versioned.  Also, unlike all other shared
    objects, -CURRENT PAM modules do not have a non-versioned `.so'
    symlink (nor will they ever).  Thus it is safe to put all the
    pam_*.so (non-versioned) into compat4x and our users' lives will be
    easier.

[The above is my guess of the situation from some poking around.  BUT
what would have been nice if you could have provided being the PAM expert
of the moment.]
