We're now almost done converting all ports to SHARED_LIBS, and a huge

In the very near future (before tuesday, probably), pkg_create is
going
to start erroring out if it finds shared libraries that are not under
SHARED_LIBS control. I expect this to be under 25 packages at that
point.
New ports HAVE to heed SHARED_LIBS. In most packages using libtool,
it's
just a question of setting USE_LIBTOOL together with SHARED_LIBS.
The current conversion showed us that, in most cases, it's very
easy to
do.
How is one to handle "plug-ins" that are really nothing more than
shared libs that have no version? Does this apply to these as well?
