Although they are both the GNOME XML api, I believe that they are
separate libraries. I suspect one was for GNOME 1 and the other for
GNOME 2, and I think there's API changes. I'm not sure why they gave it
a different name instead of simply bumping the major version number in
the soname.
Symlinking is evil.
