Why do we want lib${PN} to have a hard dependency on ${PN}?  This seems
somewhat backwards to me.  

Also, if ${PN} is the one with the binaries then it will get an
auto-generated dependency back to lib${PN} anyway and it looks like this
will cause a dependency loop.

Also also, if it really is correct for lib${PN} to RDEPEND on ${PN}
then, in the general case, it probably ought to be a precisely versioned
dependency to guarantee correctness.  Individual recipes can relax that
if they want to.
