versuffixes for different platforms

[Jan Engelhardt]

Hi,


I noticed that different platforms get different filenames, e.g.
for "-version-info 16:0:2":

Linux, libfoo.so.14.2.0
NetBSD, libfoo.so.16.0
FreeBSD, libfoo.so.16

I looked at the libtool source and found

        
        freebsd-elf)
          major=".$current"
          versuffix=".$current";

which kinda explains why it [the lack of 2nd and 3rd number on 
platforms] is happening, but not why this was done so.

What is the rationale behind omitting $age and $revision on FreeBSD, and 
using $current.0 on NetBSD?
