In converting ports to use ELF, would you suggest
using PORTOBJFORMAT to make conditionals so that the makefile
are backwards compat?

Also, if you do this, what is the best way to handle the PLIST 
when your libname changes from foo.so.1.4 to foo.so.1


I'm currently working on converting the following:

jbigkit-1.0
jpeg-6b
mpeg_lib-1.2.1
png-1.0.2
tcl*
tk*
xpm-3.4k
