If we actually wanted to back-patch it, I think the least painful way
would be to tweak the Makefiles to install the built .so's under the old
names in existing release branches. Then it would be a PITA only to the
developers ;-). I don't personally feel it's worth it, even so. There
are not that many people trying to build from source with weird tools.
