actually, i was not precise enough. For me :

 * if API or ABI is broken (like : remove of API, the signature of a
function has changed, exposed structure changed so that ABI is broken) x
should be bumped and y and z should be set to 0.
 * if an API is added, y should be bumped and z should be set to 0
 * if bugs are fixed, z should be bumped.

But you do what you want, of course (and of course, you don't have to match
libtool versioning).
