Parallel-installing multiple versions of the same package is a flawed idea 
from the onset, the only package we support it for is the kernel (and that's 
a hack). I don't think it makes sense to try to support it elsewhere.

It would be much more productive to just package the latest version of the 
library in Fedora (if necessary as an update) and make the client packages 
work with that (if necessary in a grouped update).
