I never intented to change the name of the DLL, only the name of the .so link
to it. The DLL will stay libpari-2.2.so.5.0.0 but the symlink will be renamed
to libpari.so in place of libpari-2.2.so. This .so link is used by ld when
searching for library at link time. The soname will stay libpari-2.2.so.5
because the library is build with '-soname libpari-2.2.so.5' or the equivalent.
