I'm a little hesitant about gratuitously changing the soname just before a major release, and after 1.0 it will be too late. Is there a reason why you need the get-version.sh script included in APR to behave like this, rather than just using a local modification in the copy in the libapreq2 tree?
+1. Now is *not* the time to make goofy changes like this. -- justin
