Note that I mentioned it should be done *after* 2004Q3 to provide as much
shakeout time as possible (before 2004Q4).

You still have to put the .major.minor[.teeny] in the PLISTs; the automatic
handling is only there to transform names for some OS's, add the .so
versionless symlink if needed, and remove entries from the PLIST which don't
exist at install time.

Since the major version will be changing, that means updating all the PLISTs
(partially scriptastically).
