Should we extend the definition, so it can optionally
include a number of libraries the subslot is created from?

<subslot files>libfoo.so libbar.so libbaz.so</subslot files>

This would enable us to write a tool that checks for changed sonames
automatically (by using some command like find ${DESTDIR} -name
"libsoname.so" and run objdump on it.
