-# (for my own sanity).
-#
-# 1) If you have changed any of the sources for this library, the revision
-#    number must be incremented. This is a new revision of the current
-#    interface.
-#
-# 2) If the interface has changed, then current must be incremented, and
-#    revision reset to `0'. This is the first revision of a new interface.
-#
-# 3) If the new interface is a superset of the previous interface
-#    (that is, if the previous interface has not been broken by the changes
-#    in this new release), then age must be incremented. This release is
-#    backwards compatible with the previous release.
-#
-# 4) If the new interface has removed elements with respect to the previous
-#    interface, then you have broken backward compatibility and age must be
-#    reset to `0'. This release has a new, but backwards incompatible
-#    interface. For example, if the next release of the library included
-#    some new commands for an existing socket protocol, you would use
-#    -version-info 1:0:1. This is the first revision of a new interface.
-#    This release is backwards compatible with the previous release.
-#    Later, you implement a faster way of handling part of the algorithm
-#    at the core of the library, and release it with -version-info 1:1:1.
-#    This is a new revision of the current interface.
-#    Unfortunately the speed of your new implementation can only be fully
-#    exploited by changing the API to access the structures at a lower level,
-#    which breaks compatibility with the previous interface, so you release
-#    it as -version-info 2:0:0. This release has a new, but backwards
-#    incompatible interface.
