I might be missing something here: The only thing we see by compiletime is
headerfiles. At runtime we try dlopen a library what we hope corresponce
to the headerfiles. There is no garantee that it is.

I was under the impression (from reading ncurses docs/faq) that
compatibility has prime focus. Even .so.4 is binary compatible with .so.5
if I have read it correct.
