the soname is bumped up to 1.3 form 1.2.. its not major.. but the api
is still the same thu no majore revision.. maybe your and my ideas
about minor and major versins are different.. :)

->  You do this so the old version and the new version can be installed on

->  
->  Imlib isn't ready for production apps if you introduce new versions
->  that will break compatibility on existing "production" apps installed
->  on the system.  That's what the library versioning is there to fix.

either way.. everyone re-compiled gnome every day anyway.. you have to
just to make sure it runs. :)

->  Apologies if that is what you are doing...
