Patch for spatialite >= 4.2.1-RC0 SOVERSION

[linux...@gmail.com]

SpatiaLite 4.2.1-RC0 changed the libtool version-info from 7:0:0 to 7:0:1, causing the SOVERSION to decrement from 7 to 6.

Only new symbols where introduced since 4.2.1-RC0, so a SOVERSION change is not required. [1]

The attached patch bumps the current value to keep the SOVERSION at 7.

I'm not sure if any symbols have been removed since 4.2.1-RC1, if that's the case for SpatiaLite 4.3.0 then the version-info needs to be changed from 8:0:1 to 9:0:0.

Hi Bas,

yes, all symbols defined by previous versions are still supported
and there are several newly introduced APIs.
so I'll duly accept your patch.

many thanks
