How does the version number get used in this situation? That is, is there any time on the users machine that the linker notices that he is now linking to 1.0.0 instead of 0.0.0?
Yes, the linker notices it when it runs. :-)
Existing programs continue to use existing libraries according to ELF versioning rules.
Programs linked after the newer library is installed will use the newer library.
