I am looking at committing a port which creates the following files:

/usr/local/lib/libGmsh.so
/usr/local/lib/libGmsh.so.0
/usr/local/lib/libGmsh.so.2.7
/usr/local/lib/libGmsh.so.2.7.0

libGmsh.so is a link to libGmsh.so.0, which is a link to libGmsh.so.2.7,
which is a link to libGmsh.so.2.7.0.

My concern is that this will confuse ldconfig.  Is my concern justified?
