[Scons-users] How to install a versioned shared library correctly?

[edA-qa mort-ora-y]

I think I have it. I must use the fully versioned name for the source
file, so in this case:

libs = env.InstallVersionedLib( '.', env.Glob( '$ABS_BUILD_DIR/*.so.0.0.1' ) )


Then all the symlinks are created.

It's odd though, using just `*.so.0` isn't enough to create any links at
all. :/
