I'm not going to comment on the tools.

But I don't see why the libraries need to be renamed. The sonames are different 
already. Most development software does not support installing the development 
files of two different major versions at the same time, in the same prefix.

Like:
	libmysqlclient.so
	libboost_regex.so
	libpng.so

That's just to name a few that change the target of the symlink quite often, 
or have in the past and caused a lot of headache.
