This might get sticky if you use gcc to link your code (like in a makefile). I'm
not to clear on how gcc finds libs but having the libs change names could be a
bad thing.
OTOH if an install script is used hard/soft links could be used to alias
libphobos_0.xxx.a as libphobos.a, then you only need to deal with that problem
when using old versions.
