I believe that ports that are not picking up libraries in
${LOCALBASE}/lib before they pick up those in /usr/lib are broken.
Generally, `configure' scripts will honor LIBS when looking for
libraries ... and generally ports should include $LOCALBASE in libs if
they are expected to use libraries that are not in the base system.

I personally believe this is a very poor reason to bump the library
version. I'll go so far as to call it bogus. :-)
