Since most new versions have more or less incompatible versions of
libpico, I'd suggest we name them 'libpico.so.401.0'
The maintainers took the patches for the shared library stuff from the
port. I recognize my inelegent solution to versioning right away.
(Who do you think came up with the original versioning? :)
