Hi,
I browsed the archive and have some comments:

At first I used /usr/local, but it seems that /usr/local/lib isn't in the
standard library path. It seems that not many programs use /usr/local as prefix
at all (though it should be /usr/local - but what use are conventions if they
aren't followed by standard Linux distributions ?).

Version checking is automatic for all UNIX based shared libs (that I have seen).
It could be added a lame API function like get_lib_version(int* major, int*
minor) which lets shared lib users decide whether the lib is fitting: minor
version changes are upward compatible, major version changes are incompatible.
This function is targeted for developers using the shared lib on systems without
versioning support like Windows.
