That's possible, but probably doesn't have any benefit over having
libnano-X.so and libnano-GDK.so as suggested previously. The previous
method has the advantage that if you have both on one system, the total
will be smaller (only a few KB admittedly, but that might be important on
an embedded system), plus they are seperate from a distibution standpoint.

I haven't looked into GDK in enough detail to say.
