Andrew,
   I am just trying to find out if there are any
rules in gcc development requiring shared libraries
to have some so version number. Also, I don't see
that adding one would present a huge problem. Why
can't the files in lib/gcj-4.x.x have their own
so version number that is independent of the one
for libgcj? As long as the ABI for those shared
libs don't change, I don't see why their so version
can't stay at .0 or .1.
           Jack
