[Scons-users] Setting macOS shared library versioning information with scons

[Bill Deegan]

That's true, but macOS's 'shared library" is different than linux (as are
DLL's).
Versioning is embedded in the libraries via the flags discussed in the
thread.
As such, the .1 and .1.2.3 may not be directly mappable to macOS's
versioned library usage.
