That's still the case.  The dynamic linker itself doesn't care what
the name looks like.  It's just a filename as far at it's concerned.
But ldconfig refuses to recognize a filename as an ELF shared library
unless it has exactly one version number.  I made it that way because
otherwise there was a lot of confusion if some a.out shared libraries
happened to be in the same directory.
