I am currently testing out my first port, and I have a problem.  It seems
that the shared libraries being installed are using the following syntax:
libfoo.so.x.y
libbar.so.x.y

This gives me no problem for the install but during uninstall the port
complains about missing files such as:
libfoo.so.x
libbar.so.x

Why is the install chopping off those minor version numbers.  Nothing in
the Porter's Handbook (http://www.freebsd.org/porters-handbook/) explains
on how to handle this situation.  I am given the impression from a link
in the general Handbook that ELF ignores the minor number which might be
the root of my problem.

Should I relabel the libraries without the minor version numbers?  If yes,
how would someone recommend redoing these when the version of the software
is v0.9.4?  Do I just chop off the minor number?

libgsi.so.0.1
libgsicd.so.0.1
libgsif.so.0.1
libgsimidi_pcm.so.2.0
libgsimixer.so.0.1
libgsipcm.so.0.1
libgsisynth.so.0.1

TIA,
Sean
