No.  The better option is to statically compile libs like this, but I
agree with Bill.  If the amount of dancing we have to go through to
support some old beta version of a library is too intense (adding ugly
code to work around bugs, etc) we are better off not supporting the
old lib.

Once the world is stable we'll produce packages with things statically
compiled.
