RE: IRIX and .so numbers

[Nick Blievers]

Hi,
        I had a chat with some longtime SGI ppl, and noone could think of any
reason why "0" for the version number should cause a problem, so I think
this should be fine. Leaving a comment can't hurt tho! :) Also, maybe this
hasn't been noticed as most build systems are perhaps a little more flexible
than the openoffice one...?

Thanks

Nick
