I'm curious as to why the minor numbers of the shared libraries
aren't changing?  My understanding of the numbers are that the
major number should be incremented when the functionality of
the library changes (i.e. new functions added/deleted), while
the minor number should be incremented when bugs are fixed.

Comments?
