i dont classify versioning symbols quite that way, but it's just
semantics i guess

this is treading pretty ugly territory though.  you want libtool to
parse a pretty free form file like the version script given to ld and
mung it ?  if the file had strict rules about syntax, then /maybe/ ...

at any rate, if we sent a patch that turned src/libgcrypt.vers into a
src/libgcrypt.vers.in and then ran `sed` on it, would you guys take it
?
