You should also seriously consider making a branch called "gnome-2-4"
before rolling any 2.4 tarballs if there is any chance things are going
to become binary incompatible in the near future. Otherwise bug fixing
for GNOME 2.4.1, etc, is going to be really difficult.

Although it has not been "officially approved" (hardly any GEPs have
moved on from 'pending'), GNOME Enhancement Proposal #4
(http://developer.gnome.org/gep/gep-4.html) is the way we all tend to do
the version numbering and branching. So if you follow the
recommendations there, your module(s) will look like everybody elses.

Cheers,
