Which is IMO still wrong. See  

info '(libtool.info.gz)Updating version info'

for how it should be done. Specially the last paragraph:

     *_Never_* try to set the interface numbers so that they
     correspond to the release number of your package.  This is an
     abuse that only fosters misunderstanding of the purpose of
     library versions.  Instead, use the `-release' flag (*note
     Release numbers::), but be warned that every release of your
     package will not be binary compatible with any other release.

You're welcome.
