This is what I am using as a workaround:
http://fedorapeople.org/~bjohnson/soname-version.patch

This generates the shared libraries (for 2.3) in the format libzdb.so.5.1.0
rather than libzdb-2.3.so.5.1.0.

I don't know enough about the autotools files to generate a proper patch.
It's unlikely that I could get this into Fedora without the upstream
blessing of the library versioning.
