My mistake - I misread libtool. So the CURRENT is directly used as the first, i.e. major, version, and so like you say changing it changes the SONAME. So the libtool help is incorrect - current should only be incremented on an incompatible change.

I'll do a new revision, more like gtk+/libvirt:
 - only keep the three above variables
 - age = minor
 - revision = micro
 - current = 1 + major (to not break existing users)
