Hi!

Because I generate a plugin, each configuration results in different plugin.
I also have this when I produce proxy shared library.

I can do this very simple with automake/libtool if I rename the output. But
not got any solution of how to correct the soname.

Maybe I can do this with some ELF hacking utility, but I think that adding
the ability to override the soname via libtool is the simplest and cleanest.

Thanks!
Alon.
