To dampen the euphoria a bit: the current scheme has a flaw.

I was just converting a file which has a function which is defined for
	GLIBC_2.0
and	GLIBC_2.2

If now the scripts determine the GLIBC_2.1 is the latest version
needed support in the libc then

	#if SHLIB_COMPAT (libc, GLIBC_2_0)

will fail although the 2.0 version of this function is used in version
2.1 of the library.

I have not yet an idea how to solve this problem.  Roland?
