Only one of these files should be created, it should be named
(initially) librnd-poly.so.0.0 and appear in the PLIST as
@so lib/librnd-poly.so.${LIBrnd-poly_VERSION} - the version number
needs to be under control of the SHARED_LIBS line in the port.

grepping for "LIB.*_VERSION" in the ports tree might show up something
borrowable too.
