Obviously if a version 2 is backwards compatible all one has to do is to symlink .1 to .2. no need to mix .so into it at all.
You should never symlink .1 to .2 unless you can make sure that all structures are identical, functions take the same arguments and so on. Being backwards compatible does not suffice, the binary interface must be identical. Philipp -- Penguins to save the dinosaurs -- Handelsblatt on Linux for S/390
