Happily, added or removed externals are not frequent in libcurl. If this
occurs, it implies an SONAME change.

As an alternate solution example, see libxml2: there is an xml file
defining all externals by version. See
https://git.gnome.org/browse/libxml2/tree/doc/symbols.xml.
This does neither allow deleting externals, nor conditional externals
(i.e.: platform-dependent). This file is maintained manually. I
(indirectly) use it for the OS400 implementation.
