Why not just do a lunar rebuild everytime you install a module? that way 
we never need to bother checking what new versions/module do.

OR MAYBE we should start taking care of libraries?!?!

We dont make any effort in checking how libs are installed today and if 
we dont start this will not be the first problem we will have.
If you havn't noticed libexpat change a few weeks ago, it installed 
itself as .so.1 and suddenly changed to .so.0 breaking some other 
programs that was linking to .so.1 .

Sure we can ignore the big problem and just tell everyone to rebuild 
most of thier system when a lib change.... or we could global 
solution/guideline on how to deal with libs.

I leave it up for the collective decision of ALL lunar-devs (in other 
words, reply to this thread or your say has nothing of value).
