Never ever back out library version numbers even if what you're doing is
removing functionality.  Always go forward.

Also please consider only using every other version number (i.e. all the
even numbers) and leave every other number for the local administrator.
This at least gets partly around the naming problem that prevents
representation of branching in some sane way.
