[PATCH libevdev 1/2] Add ld version-script

From: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann at gmail.com>

Explicit symbol versioning allows us to provide multiple versions of
incompatible API changes. It is a very common practice in GNU world and
avoids the problems occuring if distributions try to ship multiple version
of a single DSO.

Background information available at:
  http://people.redhat.com/drepper/dsohowto.pdf

To see the symbol-versions, use objdump:
  objdump -T libevdev/.libs/libevdev.so.1.0.0
This can also be used to verify that all symbols are correctly
exported (typos in linker-scripts are silently ignored by ld).

Updated for evdev 0.6's API.
