Gambas only uses the component *.so files. The other component library 
files (*.so.0, *.so.*, *.la, *.a) are actually useless.

The debian policy for shared libraries is only for system shared 
libraries that any program can use.

This is not the case for Gambas shared libraries. They are just 
extensions of the Gambas interpreter. No other program uses them.
