I was just working on some tweaks to my SP port to ensure that it
compiles on old (2.1.x) systems as well as current.  One part of
the SP port for 2.2+ systems is a shared library, but on 2.1.x
systems, only the static library is built (linking against the
shared just produces core dumps).

My question is how to deal with a system version dependent PLIST. 
Ideas from more experienced porters?
