dnl BURN_MICRO_VERSION is _not_ the third component Z of libburn-X.Y.Z
dnl but an eternal counter which leads to SONAME. This misunderstanding
dnl caused a messed up sequence of SONAMEs.

dnl In the past the following SONAMEs of libburn have been released.
dnl In the past the following CURRENTs of libburn have been released.
dnl All with AGE=0.
dnl 0.2.2 = 2 , 0.2.3 = 3 , 0.2.6 = 6
dnl 0.3.0 = 0 , 0.3.2 = 2 , 0.3.4 = 4 . 0.3.6 = 6 , 0.3.8 = 4

dnl Beginning with libburn-0.4.1 a rectified counting was introduced as
dnl SONAME=10, REV=1, AGE=6
dnl CURRENT=10, REV=1, AGE=6
dnl This rectification declared the current version
dnl to be binary compatible down to libburn-0.3.4.
dnl Real backward compatibility is given down to libburn-0.3.2.
dnl Beware of libburn-0.2.6 which had SONAME=6.
dnl Beware of libburn-0.2.6 which had CURRENT=6.

dnl SONAME=10, REV=0, AGE=6 would be appropriate for libburn-0.4.0

dnl but was not issued, regreattably.
dnl
dnl If libburn-0.4.0 gets patched, its SONAME will become 10, AGE 6, and
dnl REV will be set to one higher than the highest REV of SONAME 10.
dnl If libburn-0.4.1 is still on SONAME 10 then its REV gets set one higher
dnl If libburn-0.4.0 gets patched, its CURRENT will become 10, AGE 6, and
dnl REV will be set to one higher than the highest REV of CURRENT 10.
dnl If libburn-0.4.1 is still on CURRENT 10 then its REV gets set one higher
dnl than that.
dnl As soon as 0.4.1 becomes upwardly incompatible, it shall become 11,0,7.
dnl From then on it counts REV independently of libburn-0.4.0.
dnl Whether 0.4.1 alters independent REV at all, is not decided yet.
