yeah, it's bizarre to me too.  It *might* have to do with there also
being 4.0 and 5.0 iterations of this library in the archive, but that
oughta only affect the package names, not the .so names.   More
likely, it's something that was done a long time ago by someone who
didn't know any better and now they're stuck with it.  Bleah.
