Right, that much for sure.  But, for example, I had the problem on my
system that I upgraded to libmng-1.0, which has a different major number
(not sure if it is binary incompatible), so I had to recompile
everything; some others may have upgraded X or other things in the
meantime.  So the question is directed particularly to each packager,
depending on what libraries have changed in the mix.

Sorry I was unclear, gotta take more time :-).
