Hm. Well I turned '2:0:0' into '2:0:1' in the lib/Makefile.am... I can't
understand why that made the first digit a 1!

I can understand that, and I certainly didn't intend that!

It should probably me made '2:1:0' or possibly '3:0:0' in lib/Makefile.am.
Reading the hints on how to deal with library version numbering (which is
included in the file in question), paragraph 4 indicates the latter,
paragraph 5 indicates that '2:0:1' is correct while paragraph 3 says '2:1:0'
is the one to go with.

I'm confused.
