# Bumping of SONAME conditionally may seem like a weird thing to do, and yeah
# it is. The problem is that we try to avoid the bump as hard as possible, but
# yet it is still necessary for a few rare situations. The configure script will
# attempt to figure out these situations, and it can be forced to consider this
# to be such a case! See README.curl_off_t for further details.

# This conditional soname bump SHOULD be removed at next "proper" bump.

SONAME
------
We opted to not bump the soname for the library, simply because soname bumping
is causing a lot of grief and moaning all over the community so we try to keep
that at minimum. Also, our selected design path should be 100% backwards
compatible for the vast majority of all libcurl users.

Enforce SONAME bump
-------------------
If configure doesn't detect your case where a bump is necessary, re-run it
with the --enable-soname-bump command line option!
