cfitsio: should set library version number

[cdeil (Christoph Deil)]

Currently cfitsio doesn't set a library version number:

$ otool -L /opt/local/lib/libcfitsio.dylib 
/opt/local/lib/libcfitsio.dylib:
	/opt/local/lib/libcfitsio.dylib (compatibility version 0.0.0, current version 0.0.0)
	/usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 169.3.0)

What has to be changed in the Portfile to properly set the dylib version number?

This goes in their configure script. We are already patching their configure script​ to set the correct install_name; that could be amended to also set the right current_version and compatibility_version. But I don't know what the correct library version numbers would be. (They're usually not the same as the project version number.) Really, we shouldn't have to be doing any of this; it's the developers' responsibility to set those correctly.

I contacted the cfitsio library developer and he said they would set the current and compatibility version in future releases. Please close this ticket.
