[csw-maintainers] Checking for ".so" in shared library file names

Based on mantis bug #4811[1], here's an idea for a new check: all
shared library must have the ".so" component in the file names. It can
be in the middle (libfoo.so.1) or at the end (libfoo-1.so), but it
must be present.  The check would be limited to regular files,
symlinks would not be checked - it's harder to implement reliably.

Thoughts?
