So it would be needed to rename all those libraries to contain its
branch (major/minor version) like tevent016.so.0, tevent015.so.0,... on
ports.

Maybe new USES to handle (auto-patch/reinplace) it would be wanted, too.
(Or add the functionalities in Mk/Uses/samba.mk?)
Not sure how difficult it would be.

At least, PKGNAME should be different. For example, devel/tevent016
should have PKGNAMESUFFIX to be "016" or "-016". So as others.
