Modify Pulled Pork to remove/scrub outdated SO (Shared Object) libraries when updating...

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello All,

    In reviewing an email and having a IRC chat with Joel Esler, he suggests
that Pulled Pork should update/scrub outdated SO (Shared Object) rulesets to 
prevent the following issue below:

ERROR: The dynamic detection library 
"/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicrules/chat.so" version 1.0 compiled with dynamic 
engine library version 2.0 isn't compatible with the current dynamic engine 
library "/usr/local/lib/snort_dynamicengine/libsf_engine.so" version 2.1.

While it doesn't come up a lot, it's a confusing issue to persons new to snort 
type installs, etc.

What do you all think?

We can simply clean out the target path of all .so files prior to writing the 
new ones... Though this will require some discussion as there are risks of 
wiping out any custom .so files etc...
