Hi,

Need help with soname for new libcryptopp build.

One of previous cryptopp versions built with 
disabled SSE2 for x86 because it doesn't built with SSE2.
See http://groups.google.com/group/cryptopp-users/browse_thread/thread/d639907b0b1816b9

This was done by adding in config.h line (only for x86)
#define CRYPTOPP_DISABLE_SSE2

But negative side of this was conflict when installing 
both cryptopp-devel i686 x86_64 packages.
See bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=645169

config.h is in cryptopp-devel and was used for building other apps (amule and other).

Last cryptopp 5.6.1 not needs disabling SSE2 for building on x86
but I can't just build it without patched config.h because 
amule will crash when using this cryptopp build.

If I rebuild amule against new cryptopp build it will not crash.

So should I bump libcryptopp soname to .so.7 when building it 
with enabled SSE2 because of binary incompatibility with .so.6?

Soname not set by Crypto++ upstream and was 
manually added with autotools patch
