I'm guessing this is about the  compatibility and min/max versioning stored in 
the dylib, so providing a transition period would mean copying dylib(s) rather 
than symlinking to them? Still, if you copy only .N.dylib variants that are 
stored in dependent binaries (and change their internal versioning info) that 
should satisfy existing binaries until they're recompiled, no?

@MLD: we could probably pull the same trick with the port where we bump down 
the compatibility version, no? (qca? Can't remember which one it is ATM..)
