+SONAME
+------
+
+We opted to not bump the soname for the library, simply because soname bumping
+is causing a lot of grief and moaning all over the community so we try to keep
+that at minimum. Also, our selected design path should be 100% backwards
+compatible for the vast majority of all libcurl users.
