C++ ABI breaking: SuSE managed to break the VShop application in an
entierly insane way between releases 6.1 and 6.2 - they stiupid did
recompile the libstdc++ with a new compiler and didn't even
bother to increment the binary version of this library!!!!
At RedHat at least they know what they are changing...
