[vorbis] redhat vorbis install

[Eric Seppanen]

I've made significant progress on making RPMs that are friendlier to a 
stock redhat system.

The libasound dependency in libao can be fixed by editing the libao spec 
file, building new rpms that don't attempt to interface to ALSA.

The libcurl dependency in vorbis-tools (only happens on redhat versions 
7.2 or earlier) can be fixed with a simple rpm rebuild.

That leaves me with only one remaining issue: there are lots of programs 
on redhat machines linked against
  libvorbisenc.so.0  and 
  libvorbisfile.so.0 .
The 1.0 version of libvorbis supplies 
  libvorbisenc.so.2 and 
  libvorbisfile.so.3 .

So, is there an easy fix to this?  Is there a real incompatibility there?  
Can I make a symlink to point everyone at the new version?  Can the old .0 
files coexist peacefully with a new libvorbis.so.0 ?

The attempt is to make a cleaned-up set of RPMs that will install cleanly 
on a stock redhat box, without installing mismatched packages from other 
distributions a la rpmfind.

If this issue can be resolved I will have cleaned up spec files and rpms 
to share.
