Proposed patch

The attached patch fixes the problem described in bug 200969: currently, libjsoncpp.so is not properly versioned by SCons; in other words, there's no SONAME in the library's ELF header, which confuses the linker when creating binaries that link against it. This causes the problems in the bug I mentioned before.

Solve it by using InstallVersionedLib(), available since SCons 2.3.0: this call is able to properly version the shared library the way we need it. Since there is no support for actually installing the files outside the build directory, we have to recreate the required symlinks ourselves in the Makefile. Another related change is that we now create the libraries with the proper names instead of doing that in the Makefile.
