FOX-1.7 and FOX-1.6 are not compatible (well, mostly yes but in
important things not). That said they are different libraries with
separate include and library names (/usr/include/fox-1.6 vs
/usr/include/fox-1.7 and the same for libraries). So technically
applications linking against FOX-1.6 do not have to be change if FOX-1.7
is added on the same system (the two can coexist). But it depends if two
library versions of the same library are accepted even if they are disjoint.
