    I agree re: the CVS bloat issue... *but* we can always remove it

continuity
    between the old and new libs.
how about this:

COMPAT_LIBS=	c.4 c_r.4 ncurses.5 m.2		# whatever

LATEST_LIBS=	# empty
. for lib in ${COMPAT_LIBS}
LATEST_${lib}!=	ls -r lib${lib:S/./.so./}* | head -n 1
LATEST_LIBS+=	${LATEST_${lib}}
. endfor
install:
. for lib in ${LATEST_LIBS}
	install ${lib} /usr/lib/compat/${lib:C/-[[:digit:]]*$//}
. endfor
with files there:
libc.so.4-20050414
libc.so.4-20050501
libm.so.2-20050414
libncurses.so.5-200504014
etc.

As you can see, libc has two files. the older one can easily be removed 
from cvs (repomeister stuff), as the makefile will always pick up the 
newer one. bloat doesn't increase.
