On this, I'm thinking about the broader implications of running without
a version script.  Isn't that what we use to make (eg, as an example
that we know has poor internal namespace control) libsmbclient safe, and
not expose all our internal guts, even on autoconf?

That is, can we do any shared libs, on any build system safely without
it?  

Is fixing this more broadly just a platform-dependent thing, or else
what did shared libraries do before version/linker scripts?
