In today's Release Engineering meeting, it was decided that the libperl 
multilib conflicts are a Test4 blocker.  So we need to split libperl.so 
into a sub-package.

The attached patch could theoretically do this, but I haven't been able 
to make a successful build.

This patch is also sub-optimal in that the defined compat version dirs 
need to be modified manually in yet another part of the spec whenever 
they change.  I thought about using a filelist to allow dynamic 
generation of this based on %{perlmodcompat}, but there does not seem to 
be a way to use a filelist in %exclude of the main perl package to make 
this possible
