I'm just saying that if you have (say) an executable and three related 
dynamically-linked .so files, or you have a .so and a .h file, there's 
no way in Linux to ensure that you can update them consistently, as far 
as I know. (I learn Linux tricks by telling people Linux can't do 
something, and then people correct me. ;-)
