using a recent version of libtool should suffice.

i'm happy to have raised an important question... :)

for me it is ok whatever name you choose, only i need a guarantee that
something in the name (or it should really be in the soname) changes on any
interface modification since i, and whoever cares about the insertion in a
distribution, will keep both the old and the new version at the same time for a
while until the transition finishes. this is a must to keep all the "old"
software linked to the old library still functioning.

which name scheme are you thinking at?
