    <para><command>ln -v -sf libxvidcore.so.4 /usr/lib/libxvidcore.so</command>:
    This command makes applications linked against
    <filename class="libraryfile">.so</filename> names, link to
    <filename class="libraryfile">.so.<replaceable>&lt;MAJOR&gt;</replaceable></filename>.
    This ensures better binary compatibility, as
    <application>XviD</application> developers take care not changing the
    <replaceable>&lt;MAJOR&gt;</replaceable> number until there is an incompatible
    ABI change.</para>
