RFC: rpm auto-glib version enforcement

[Chris Adams]

Once upon a time, Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net> said:

Tru64's shared library versioning allows a library to say it is
compatible with older versions, but still have binaries built against
the new library require the new library.  For example, you can have the
library be version 3 (so all binaries linked against it require version
3) but say it is still compatible with version 2.

Is there a way to do something similar with Linux and/or ELF?
