Hi,

There is no need to name the real file libXaw6.so.6.0.1, as the 6 is
mentioned twice this way (libXaw.so.6.0.1 suffices). The unversioned
symlink and the .la file are the only things that conflict between
versions; I'd think that there is some sort of a "current" ABI which
would get its symlink/.la installed.

Now I'm wondering whether it would make sense to add a switch to libtool
that makes it not install those two things, such as "-old-abi".
