Changing versioned_so=1 would prevent the other, also valid, behavior.
Indeed another project might be using MPC only (and not ACE), and
use soname as an ABI versioning mechanism. I believe we need both
versioning schemes.

But I agree that for ACE+TAO compilation, versioned_so could be changed
to the new behavior so that:
  - everyone uses the same library names
  - the new mechanism gets better testing
