Submit a patch
This is what I am using as a workaround:
http://fedorapeople.org/~bjohnson/soname-version.patch
This generates the shared libraries (for 2.3) in the format libzdb.so.5.1.0 rather than libzdb-2.3.so.5.1.0.
I don't know enough about the autotools files to generate a proper patch. It's unlikely that I could get this into Fedora without the upstream blessing of the library versioning.
