Converting a project to libtool

[Jeff Bailey]

I'm converting a project to libtool, and need to maintain the existing
SONAME and library names.  I can't find a FAQ to see if there's a good
way to do this.  I essentially need my versuffix=".0.3" - Is there a
-override-versuffix=".0.3" option?  If not, would you accept a patch
for it?  I'm imagining this option would have a large warning around
it in the documentation about why this sucks for portability, and
possibly a large warning everytime it's executed so that users would
annoy the maintainer into not using it.

Tks,
Jeff Bailey
