package (pkg_add), wouldn't you get error when run apps for can't find to  
link foobar.so.5 when you have foobar.so.4? I don't use package, but  
wouldn't package (without library version in Makefile) failed to check for  
need foobar.so.5 and go ahead install it because there was no library  
version info? With the library version would check and give the error  
earlier.
