[sldev] libexpat

[Ricky]

scons... I guess it's time to re-evaluate some of my process... :D  If I'm
out of date on some other steps, please, anyone, make a note in my comments
page!  It'll be most appreciated!

On my system I have dev-libs/expat installed.  The latest version, according
to my system, is installed at version 2.0.1-r1.  An  equery files
dev-libs/expat gives the following symlinks and file:
         /usr/lib64/libexpat.so -> libexpat.so.1.5.2
         /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.1 -> libexpat.so.1.5.2
         /usr/lib64/libexpat.so.1.5.2

Searching my system returns the fact that, excepting some instances packaged
with VMWare's Player, there is no libexpat.so.0, only libexpat.so.1.  Does
the viewer require both?  Or is the old one being linked in by some mistake
in my process or setup?
