Sounds good. I read you can extend the life of a release by adding padding 
members to structs and updating functions by introducing a new name instead 
of changing the parameters of an existing name. [0]

Are -release and -version-info compatible? I read the libtool chapter about 
this and it looked like these are two incompatible schemes, 
with -version-info being the preferred scheme.
