 dnl interface version info
+dnl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+dnl Advanced information about versioning:
+dnl   * "Writing shared libraries" by Mike Hearn
+dnl         http://navi.cx/~mike/writing-shared-libraries.html
+dnl   * libtool.info chapter "Versioning"
+dnl   * libtool.info chapter "Updating library version information"
+dnl ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+dnl Versioning:
+dnl  - CURRENT (Major):  Increment if the interface has changes. AGE is always
+dnl                      *changed* at the same time.
+dnl  - AGE (Micro):      Increment if any interfaces have been added; set to 0
+dnl                      if any interfaces have been removed. Removal has
+dnl                      precedence over adding, so set to 0 if both happened.
+dnl                      It denotes upward compatibility.
+dnl  - REVISION (Minor): Increment any time the source changes; set to
+dnl                      0 if you incremented CURRENT.
+dnl
+dnl  To summarize. Any interface *change* increment CURRENT. If that interface
+dnl  change does not break upward compatibility (ie it is an addition),
+dnl  increment AGE, Otherwise AGE is reset to 0. If CURRENT has changed,
+dnl  REVISION is set to 0, otherwise REVISION is incremented.
