OK, but when it comes to installing the shared library, it seems that I
have to copy the library as libsmbclient.so.1.0 or something like that.
Later ldconfig will create a link from libsmbclient.so.1 to the name above,
but for any linking with that library to work, it seems that I also need a
link from libsmbclien.so to libsmbclient.so.1 ... 

But this extra step can only be done after ldconfig has run and created the
link from the soname to the real name ...
