+  This version script is heavily inspired  by Fedora's and Mageia's version
+  scripts for MySQL client shared library.
+  But it was modified to support Debian-compatible versioning too.
+
+  In RedHat universe, symbols from old libmysqlclient.so.16
+  keep their libmysqlclient_16 version. New symbols added in
+  libmysqlclient.so.18 get the new libmysqlclient_18 version.
+
+  In Debian all symbols in libmysqlclient.so.18 have libmysqlclient_18 version,
+  including symbols that existed in libmysqlclient.so.16
+
+  We solve this by putting all symbols into libmysqlclient_18 version node,
+  but creating aliases for old symbols in the libmysqlclient_16 version node.
