I have read it. This is _nothing_ to do with the versioning scheme we are
talking about. See "The Autobook, 11.4 Library Versioning"
http://sources.redhat.com/autobook/autobook/autobook_91.html
I have set -version-info 1.0.0, meaning that I haven't really thought about
this too much. Reading the docs, I guess that 1.1.1 would be better, meaning
that:
* This is a new revision of the current interface.
* This release is backwards compatible with the previous release.
Do you agree with this reading?
