Ok, I've created a '-sobase' option in link mode and tested it on
GNU/Linux. It changes the -soname option passed to the linker so that
instead of using ${libname} for the first part of the soname, it uses
the -sobase parameter. It also includes this generated name as one of
the library_names so that when the library is installed, a symlink to
the soname
is made.
