It contains some stub code that need to be linked into binaries which
want to use libsynthesis. The stable C ABI is provided by
libsynthesis.so, a shared library, while the less stable C++ API is in
libsynthesissdk.

This packaging change is necessary to get out-of-tree SyncEvolution
backends (like the upcoming ActivSync one) linked. It has been broken
all the time, it just wasn't noticed.
