This should be right since I don't think any new interfaces were
added. The rules are:

If current version is C:R:A
and there are any source changes, then use C:R+1:A
but if interfaces were added use C+1:0:A+1
unless interfaces were removed, then use C+1:0:0

That should do the right thing on all platforms.
