-dnl  - If any interfaces have been added since the last public release,

+dnl  1. Start with version information of `0:0:0' for each libtool library.
+dnl  2. Update the version information only immediately before a public
+dnl     release of your software. More frequent updates are unnecessary, and
+dnl     only guarantee that the current interface number gets larger faster.

+dnl  4. If any interfaces have been added, removed, or changed since the last
+dnl     update, increment current, and set revision to 0.
