This is not such a big deal. We can update the SONAME of the library so
that old code will continute to dynamically link to the old version of
the library. Nothing [1] will magically make the old code work with the
new library if we change the API; that is just the way things go,
occasionally APIs and/or ABIs change.
[1] Well maybe symbol versioning. I don't fully understand that, but I
suspect it is more trouble than it is worth.
