I am looking at committing a port which creates the following files:

/usr/local/lib/libGmsh.so.2.7.0
libGmsh.so is a link to libGmsh.so.0, which is a link to libGmsh.so.2.7,
which is a link to libGmsh.so.2.7.0.
My concern is that this will confuse ldconfig. Is my concern justified?
It will not confuse the os at all but it will confuse ldconfig -r which is not
able to list libraries ending with more that one digit. Which is just
informational, so not a big deal except that bsd.port.mk is not clever enough to
correctly deal with libraries. so only detection from ports will be confused,
all the rest will work.
