multiple number versions for shared libraries

[Tom Uffner]

of the gnome ports are installing shared libs with multiple number
versions. eg:

i don't know if this is an intentional change or not, but it doesn't
seem to play well with ldconfig or my ports framework / tools.

ldconfig doesn't find them so existing applications end up linking to
the old version in compat (which is usually not what i want).

any port that has one of these as a LIB_DEPEND does not find the
dependency, rebuilds it then fails because it is already installed.

the affected ports that i know of are:
databases/libgda
databases/gnome-db
devel/libglade
x11-toolkits/guile-gtk
devel/g-wrap
x11-toolkits/gal
www/gtkhtml
math/guppi

my system is:
