[Pkg-giraffe-maintainers] unversioned .so files in /usr/lib (libzarafaclient.so libzarafacontacts.so)

[John van der Kamp]

Adjusting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is not the way to go, since an admin user should be able to use the zarafa-admin (and others) commands without any hassle.
Also, it would mean adding the path to the apache process for the webaccess.
Not sure if dlopen accepts full paths for a library, but that would be possible to set in the .inf files.
