Another reason to stick to the first renaming scheme is that it will be
very easy to implement using pre-install and post-install, rather than
using patches to Makefiles.
pre-install deletes any existing symlinks libglx.so.1 (just in case the
Makefile complains that it cannot overwrite the symlink). post-install
renames libglx.so.1 to libglx-whatever.so.1. Then post-install runs the
create-gl-symlink.sh script that graphics/libGL has installed. The
create-gl-symlink.sh script is also executed by @exec and @unexec in
pkg-plist.
The create-gl-symlink.sh also deletes the symlinks if there is nothing
to link to, and this keeps tinderbox happy.
And then Kostik can easily overwrite these symlinks with his start-up
script.
