I'll take an opposing view: If the two libraries are compatible, I
believe they should have the same name. LD_LIBRARY_PATH, rpath and
ldconfig can be used to control the search path if a particular .so
variant is desired.
One difficulty with changing the .so names is that (eg) configure
scripts expect to find libraries under fixed names - if a package
has 'foo' as a dependency, it will usually look for libfoo.{a,so}
and generally won't have any way to say "use libfoo_i.{a,so} instead
of libfoo.{a,so}".
I'd also note that (eg) openssl exists in both the base system and
ports without any obvious problems.
