gnutls uses regular libtool library versioning.

-----------------------------------------

And at least on linux this does the correct thing, soname is unchanged
(ABI compability has been preserved!) which is the important as it is
the used by the dynamic linker. The filename changed from
libgnutls.so.26.21.9 to libgnutls.so.26.22.0, which has no effect on
any packages using libgnutls (unless they dlopen the full filename).

Does FreeBSD behave differently?
