I've added the version numbers to make sure that we are linking
against the current library versions, so when there's an API change
the version numbers are bumped and the linking is made against the new
libraries for sure, but you are right, and when the version number is
bumped the library is rebuild automatically, so there's no need for
all this fuss. I will send a new patch without the MAJOR.MINOR stuff.

Regards, Roger.
