Bugzilla Bug 123330

The ebuild for Shapelib appears to not create a necessary symlink, causing some
programs that link against it to fail to detect.  In my case, I was compiling
the Xastir software from their CVS repository, and configure, when trying to
test for Shapelib was giving -lshp not found.  Running the following command in
/usr/lib allowed Shapelib to be detected:

ln -s libshp.so.1.0.1 libshp.so

emerge --info output:

Try the updated ebuild; it should be 64-bit clean now (brain-dead static
Makefiles...)
