DO NOT DO THIS!  Library version bumps are as significant as major version
number bumps: the bump is due to some form of reverse-compatibility API/ABI
breakage.  Symlinking over version bumps can produce unpredictable behavior
and, in the case of a network program, create remote-exploitable bugs.

If symlinking libraries was safe, the compat ports wouldn't install the
older versions.
