is this doable programmatically?  Without a full version script parser?

Can somebody try to come up with a more detailed set of semantics, so we
can judge a bit better whether this is feasible?  If it is, any
volunteers on implementing this?

Do you know the gnulib module lib-symbol-versions?  (No, it's not a
complete solution.)
