Jim,

Most of these I can not answer but I can answer the library version
question because I asked it prior to the fast track submission.  I'll
let the project team answer the others and they can correct me if I
am wrong.  Note, I am not part of this project just know enough about
it to answer some of these issues.

To build the project the team uses the JDS build environment which
uses a spec file.  The spec file usually simply packages what ever is
built during the build process.  Thus if a component of the project
installs into a versioned directory then the packaging will reflect
that fact.  Most of your questions revolve around why things are
installed into a specific versioned directory or file and should
now be answered.

Furthermore, the project team is simply following what is being done
within the community.  The community bumped the version of the library
from libwebkit-1.0.so.1 to libwebkit-1.0.so.2.  Thus the project team
followed suite.  I had hoped that they would have explained this
within the proposal prior to submission because it is a fairly obvious
ARC type of question.

Thanks,

John
