I don't think there's something to fix. libqyotoshared.so is a shared library 
that contains often used code and against which the individual libraries for 
the binding modules link. So this is right in libdir. libqyoto.so and 
libqscintilla.so initialize the smoke smoke lib needed by the module and 
provide additional functionality needed by it. So they are modules really, but 
they can't go into libdir/kde4 since the we need to P/Invoke into them and 
Mono only looks for libraries in the linker dirs directly (afaik).
And I don't know if they really need soversions - we have no real versioning 
scheme and you can't have multiple versions of them installed anyway (because 
of the P/Invoke thing..)
It's the same thing with the QtRuby libs, btw.
