One of the principal problems is that you need to record when symbols
were added to the library to get any use out of them, this means you
actually need a version script that gets incrementally modified as new
symbols are added.

If you just globally attach the same symbol to all of the symbols,
you're not really accomplishing much (other than enabling two different
versions to be loaded into the same application, and -Bsymbolic solves
that *DON'T SHOOT ME* :p).

I've been playing with some test frameworks recently, the Autotest one
that comes with Autoconf is fairly primitive but surprisingly useful (as
you can just define your own m4 to improve it) -- I've still not found
anything that can truly unit test C though (if we plan down that road).
