[PATCH] Load .so.0 not .so

This is currently creating an icky problem for me on Mandrake 9.2 and
newer. .so files that are symlinks are considered development files and
automatically cause the package to provide devel(libfoo-MAJOR) and
automatically require a similar dependency on every library that they
depend upon.

If we use the library naming that APR is using (see the Library Naming
section of http://apr.apache.org/versioning.html) then the first integer
after the .so will always be 0. Given that we're currently naming libs:
libsvn_foo-1.so.0.0.0 it seems that we are indeed following this
convention.

If this could be applied to the 1.0-stabilization it would be make a
very happy camper.

[[[
 .so symlinks should only be development files amd shouldn't be required
at runtime. Assuming we follow APR library versioning conventions we be
loading .so.0 instead of .so.

    instead of libsvn_ra_foo-MAJOR.so
