[Forgot to cc the list]

I dug this up a little bit from e-d-s changelog and evolution-hacker
list archive and I found that was an ABI break at some point and the so
number was bumped in 1.6.3 release. Here is the corresponding changelog
and the diff[1]:

2006-05-29  Harish Krishnaswamy

        * NEWS, configure.in: Release updates, bump version.
        Correct the libecal and libedatacal versions to reflect
        the ABI break in a prior release.
