The Amiga-way would look quite different with ELF - I would even be
inclined to say that having multiple libs with different versioning
would be how this would look today; since this is mostly for ported
libraries, we can hardly provide a backwards compatible API wrapper for
them ourselves.
About .NET: this would also lock out potentially important security
updates.
Really, the only clean solution is to move the version numbering to the
responsibility of porters/updaters.
