How about symlinking to (string-append ... version) directly?
Seems more robust & worked fine when I tried it, I think.™
In general, the version numbers at the end of shared library names like
"libbz2.so.1.0" do not necessarily match the version number of the
corresponding source release. Therefore, I don't think we should write
code that assumes that those two versions will coincide.
