IMHO it doesn't...
I'm still not sure, but I suspect the "version-info" is just a
libtool-specific way to set the library version and to deal with the
dependency hell... Normal conventions like �you increase major if you
break backward compatibility, you increase minor if you break forward
compatibility and you increase revision if you break neither� seams to
me more straight-forward and got mostly the same meaning... May be
this version syntax is also a workaround for some weird platforms
nobody cares about any-more.
Afterall I don't think we are in general too careful (should we/are
we?) about such things because of very limited man-power... so I
suspect we don't even really support release mixing (do we?) and there
are no third-party applications that depends on us (except a couple in
the neighbouring thread)...
