Good idea

actually libXfoo.so.0.0, everything else will also break the library 
versioning.

Any minor version bump will break older clients. They will request
cygXfoo.0.0.dll but cygXfoo.0.1.dll is installed and is sufficient.

if we name it only cygXfoo.0.dll, can the cygwin installer make sure
that at least package foo-x.y-1 is installed and not only foo-x.y-0
for all packages requiring the new version?
