[Stk] Linux soname

[Cristian Morales Vega]

Hi,

Looking at the 4.4.3 tarball I see the shared library is not built by
default, and that even if the soname is libstk.so.4 no symlink is
created for that. Then I look a bit more and see that Debian and
Fedora patch the package to change the soname to libstk.so.0. So, to
make this a bit clearer to me, does stk make any warranty about the
ABI stability?

And unrelated, but to avoid huge %installs in spec files, like in the
Fedora case (http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=stk.git;a=blob;f=stk.spec;h=02bae3e2b650fc65bb8426ba7c41e959f003e22d;hb=HEAD).
Would you be against a patch against 4.4.3 to use automake?

Thanks.
