Another reason to stick to the first renaming scheme is that it will be 
very easy to implement using pre-install and post-install, rather than 
using patches to Makefiles.

pre-install deletes any existing symlinks libglx.so.1 (just in case the 
Makefile complains that it cannot overwrite the symlink).  post-install 
renames libglx.so.1 to libglx-whatever.so.1.  Then post-install runs the 
create-gl-symlink.sh script that graphics/libGL has installed.  The 
create-gl-symlink.sh script is also executed by @exec and @unexec in 
pkg-plist.

The create-gl-symlink.sh also deletes the symlinks if there is nothing 
to link to, and this keeps tinderbox happy.

And then Kostik can easily overwrite these symlinks with his start-up 
script.
