Description:
Hello

The ndb programs are currently dynamically linked against libndbclient.so.0. This library
is available in both MySQL 4.1 and 5.0 which makes it complicated for distributions who
like to ship 4.1 and 5.0 simultaneously.

How to repeat:
...

Suggested fix:
Please change the library soname to something different than in the 4.1 branch and update
this soname number whenever needed.

  Add code to actually version the symbols in the library, and not just the library. bug

The last two patches committed are the real ones. The add versioning to the libraries and
to the symbols. I did a test build and checked the so with objdump -T and verified that
in fact, the symbols were versioned.

Available in 4.1.23, 5.0.36, and 5.1.16-beta.  I assume this should have been in "Patch
Queued" state.  Setting to "Documenting" now.
