Thought we already talked about this.  If it is still
libwbclient.so.0 and someone write a new app that
calls wbcChangeUserpassword(), it will break on a v3.2
installation even though it will find libwbcliebt.so.0.
If all linkers supported symbol versioning, then I agree
with you.   But they don't.

If I'm wrong on something here, please correct me.


cheers, jerry
