 I am having some problems with the expat lib and I found some strange
 numbering

 After compiling expat I try to have a look at the build output here:

 /opt/local/var/macports/software/expat/2.0.1_1/opt/local/lib

 As you see, it is version 2.0.1_1. However the folder output looks like

 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      16  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.0.dylib ->
 libexpat.1.dylib
 -rwxr-xr-x  2 root  admin  154336  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.1.5.2.dylib
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      20  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.1.dylib ->
 libexpat.1.5.2.dylib
 -rw-r--r--  2 root  admin  184312  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.a
 lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  admin      20  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.dylib ->
 libexpat.1.5.2.dylib
 -rwxr-xr-x  2 root  admin     828  2 Okt  2010 libexpat.la

 I am concerned if my problems linking against libexpat might be because of
 the numbering. Normally I would expect too get the library compiled as:

  libexpat.2.0.1.dylib

 instead of

 libexpat.1.5.2.dylib

 Is the current output the right one?
