Subject: liblockdep soname versioning

Hi Sasha,

We've had a request [1] to package up liblockdep in Fedora.  Looking
things over, I noticed the library isn't actually versioned at all and
instead just builds a plain .so file.  That's likely fine during
development of it, but if distros are to ship it for broader use then
it would be a good idea to specify the soname and use a versioned .so.

The makefile already has LIBLOCKDEP_VERSION defined.  Would it be
possible to use this as the soname and version number?  Then
liblockdep.so could be the normal symlink to the versioned .so
(liblockdep.so.0.0.1 in this case).

Thanks.

josh
