That's why there is a Unix convention for library version numbers 
(x.y.z). If there is a breaking change, then the new library is put into 
another package. This way the new library and the old library happily 
cohabit on the system. Software that use the old library will have the 
old library, and software that use the new library will have the new 
library.
