That artificial barrier of having to change the number doesn't mean that
anybody will look at the code if it compiles and works fine.

I still think when compiling 5.0 code for 5.2 it actually *should* be

the other way around, not only keep the 5.0 for pkgconfig, but also
have the pkgconfig files link to the full name (I'm not sure why they
don't already anyway).
