In case lib versions cannot coexist, I feel putting them in different recipes and providing a virtual would be the best solution For openssl that would probably mean having an openssl-0.9 and openssl-1.0 recipe that both provide openssl, where the distro can choose. Different recipe names make it much clearer that it are not alternatives.
