Thanks, I miss-read the documentation[1].

The versioning of the library is reported upstream[2], I could patch
build/setup.pm to add a version but I don't know if packaging should do
something like this.

configuration time. (update: I just submit a request[3] upstream and was
accepted on IRC)

I just made one to remove the RPATH[4].
