This is likely a check we may want to add to our QA suite.  The rule for which 
symlinks must be in the run-time package vs a development package is:


Run-time:
The actual dynamic library file (duh)
Symlinks to the dynamic library file with the filename of an SONAME specified by 
the library file


Development:
Any "other" symlinks to the dynamic library NOT referenced by an SONAME
Any static library files
Any symlinks to static library files
Any (related) .la files
Any (related) .pc files
Any (related) headers


It should be fairly simple to validate the run-time, and lack of development 
components in the run-time package.


Does anyone know if this validation is already part of the sanity checking, or 
would this be an enhancement?
